22 Ways To Serve Leftover Pork Chops

Sharing is caring!

Do you ever struggle to come up with meal ideas?  We had a farm hand who worked with us for a few years in high school and then through college.  When here, I always made him lunch, supper, and snacks.  One day, he made the comment to my husband, “Doesn’t Miranda ever make leftovers?”  My husband responded that it’s against the rules to feed our guests leftovers!  However, that’s SO not true!  I just prefer to repurpose the leftovers into something new.  So that way, we’re not doubling up the same meal all the time.  I really try to not let much food go to waste and this is a great way to manage that.  So today, I’m sharing a variety of ways to use leftover pork chops.
