I wasn't inspired for dinner tonight and don't have too much on hand.
So, dinner was hamburger patties, rice, gravy, and buttered peas, using
frozen ground beef, rice, beef jus, and peas. The rice was frozen
leftovers. The beef jus was very flavorful liquid left over from a
potroast. I made patties, browned both sides, then browned some flour
and added the jus. I simmered the patties in the gravy until they were
done. My boys loved it!

LOL! I've done similar basics at time though not that one. I don't
bother to freeze leftover rice. I have 2 dogs so filler their dinner
with that the next day.

Sounds perfectly fine to me, Tara. Almost like salisbury steaks.
Thanks for reminding me I need to put a chuch roast in the fridge to
thaw. The weather here has finally cooled off so roast with gravy and
rice sounds good. Vegetable to be decided. This will probably be
dinner on Saturday.

Sounds good, Tara. Frozen rice also makes good fried rice, later, I cook
a lot, so I have leftover rice to freeze.

Our Chinese delivery place always throws a big container of steamed white
rice to any order. Most of our meals come with fried rice, so the
steamed rice usually goes in the freezer. It comes in handy.

Well, you did better than I did. I had to use my old faithful -- frozen ravioli and the end of my last batch of meatballs and sauce. At least I threw a decent garden salad together.

When did you make the potroast? Still too hot for me to even THINK along those lines.

Long ago. I'm ready to start cooking and eating some fall food. A
parent at school cooks barbecue on the side. I'm getting some BBQ and
Brunswick stew from the family on Monday. I'm hoping for some cooler
weather so we can really appreciate the Brunswick stew.
