"This is one of those "necessity is the mother of invention" things- I hesitate to call it a recipe! I had a few stray chicken breasts and some pork chops that were a wee bit too dry to fly solo....after a quick cupboard rummage, I came up with this, and was surprised at how well it was received- my leftover-phobic hubby had THIRDS. And because the meat is already cooked, it goes from table to stove in about 15 minutes."

ingredients

2 leftover cooked chicken breasts
3 leftover cooked pork loin chops (Any combo works here, you could also throw beef or ground turkey, or even taco meat or tofu into the)
0.5 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (I used the Trader Joe's Brand, which has a kick to it!)
3 (16 ounce) cans chili beans (I used Bush's- it comes in a spicy sauce)
¹⁄₈ cup brown sugar

directions

Shred/dice/crumble meat into a good-sized saucepan.
Add BBQ sauce and beans- heat over med/high until bubbly. Stir in brown sugar, and keep stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved and mixture is heated through.
I like to serve this with mac n' cheese, succotash, and a green salad -- plus maybe some garlic bread if I am feeling decadent. Yum!
