Garden Salads

• Add leftover barbecue beef to almost any salad to turn healthy vegetables into a filling dinner. Serve the beef tossed with shredded lettuce and onions for a classic meal, or toss it with corn and beans for a southwest supper. The barbecue flavors of the meat provide the dressing for the salad. Mix the meat with baby greens, green onions, red bell peppers and tomatoes to add a sweet touch to spicy beef. Serve it over iceberg lettuce, jalapenos, banana peppers and yellow onions to give a spicy touch to a sweet barbecue beef.

Cold Dishes

• Incorporate leftover beef with beans, pasta or potatoes. Stir the meat into baked beans to create an easy bean salad. Combine it with black beans, kidney beans, corn, banana peppers and onion for a spicy bean salad. Mix it with creamy chipotle salad dressing and bowtie pasta to create a creamy barbecue pasta salad. Stir the beef into cooked potatoes, cheese, celery, onion and mayonnaise for a BBQ potato salad.

Sandwiches

• Create a sandwich with leftover beef for a quick and appetizing meal. Serve the beef on a honey roll for a sloppy Joe with a sweet touch, or serve it on jalapeno bread for a spicy touch. Stack the beef on whole wheat bread with tomatoes, onions and lettuce for a healthy supper. Heap it on a hamburger bun with bacon and cheese for an indulgent meal. Use hickory bacon and cheddar for a sweet taste or peppered bacon and pepper jack for a spicy taste. Spread garlic-butter across thick-cut toast and spoon on the BBQ beef and shredded cheese for an open-face sandwich with a little bite.

Casseroles

• Casseroles are an ideal way to use up leftovers. Toss your barbecue beef into a dish with cooked pasta and cheddar soup for a quick cheesy casserole. Mix the beef with corn, tomatoes, refried beans and corn chips for an easy nacho casserole. Combine the leftover barbecue with sour cream and chili beans for a creamy chili casserole. Add the beef to peas and mashed potatoes for a hearty dish.
