"I am always wondering what to do with a bit of leftover; not enough for another meal but...I had 1 1/2 pork chop left and some gravy. I came up with this; you use whatever leftovers you have; chicken, beef, pork, fish. This is only a base to add and change the ingredients you have.It turned out so good I thought I would share it.If you have no leftover gravy improvise and you can use canned, powdered etc."

You can serve this with cooked rice,pasta mashed potates on top or with it,on toast, in patty shell,bread crumbs and cheese to make it au gratin, pastry crust to make a pie.
Anything goes; it's your meal.
This casserole is for 2 but depending on what you have leftover the fridge you can add and reduce the amounts.
If you have leftover vegetables, use those instead of having to cook some.
