Monday's Leftovers

We still had a bunch of braised beef and sauce leftover from Saturday, so in order to have at least a bit of variety, last night I converted it into a topping for baked potatoes.

To make the topping I browned half a pound of quartered mushrooms in olive oil then added the remaining sauce, some frozen peas, and the rest of the braised beef (diced). After simmering for 10 minutes, this was ready to go.

To bake the potatoes, I used the technique from JPFF (four minutes on high in microwave, turn over, another four minutes on high, 12-15 minutes in a 450 degree oven), which works very very well.

The remaining sour cream/horseradish/dill sauce complemented this quite nicely, as did the green salad we had on the side.
