Best leftovers

[AuzzieMatt]

There are a number of really good candidates here but for me it's a casserole or stew. So much better the next day.

In order:
Soup/Chili
Stew
Spaghetti
Meatloaf
Cobblers ( Apple, Blueberry, Cherry)

Chili gets better the second and third day

I dont blame you, but, cold leftover Chinese food is amazing.

Give it a try, dare ya.

Having lived in China.. can’t do it..

 

[Raiderboost]

Lasagna is the only one that gets better.

The others get close to the original. Except casseroles.

Should I clarify and say "American Chinese" food?

 

[RatFink]

Cold pizza is the winner.
Leftover lasagna warmed in a pan / waffle iron is great.
BBQ is always better the next day.
Soups/Stews are never leftovers to me because I only make them for 7-days down the line

 

[Kmench]

A chili/soup is the best leftover. My wife makes chicken and dumplings, and they are crazy good the next day

 

[Sox_Fan]

Chili and spaghetti are the best answers. Flavors intensify during refrigeration.

 

[Mark_UK]

KFC. Cold.

 

[YukonLiving]

There’s something about that that hits really nicely. Same with pizza, though you can eat that hot or cold and be happy.

Right? I think it’s because getting turkey leftovers is way more rare.

I've never found Chinese to keep particularly well, I have had it though many times.

Pizza cold never disappoints so I chose that.

Meatloaf is the best, just saying

 

[kiwichris]

Indian, especially a spicy dish although Anthony Bourdain's beef bourgnoine recipe for less halles actually said make the day before serving and that's true as well (tho not technically a leftover)

 

[pattyboy21]

I chose lasagna, but cold spaghetti is awesome!

 

[mav52]

mater of fact, I'm having left over veggie soup right now.
