What recipes does everyone have that tastes better as a leftover?

Bonus if its healthy and/or gluten free.

A lot of cold bean salads are better the second day.

I think leftover spaghetti can be better the second day.

They are a lot of work to make but I always think Tamales taste better reheated. Something about the firmer texture I guess. My favorite recipe is from Rick Bayless.

Gulf Coast Gumbo needs to sit for awhile to let all the flavors manifest themselves.

Doesn't taste better, per se, but tastes almost as good as when you made it:

Add a ham steak (we also add extra cheese) for even better results when initially baking it. :munch:

3rd on stews.

if you want to know the scientific reason why the beef is better after being cooled, check out this episode of good eats:

I made jambalaya a few days ago and it was better reheated except for the sausage as it got kinda dried out. I think I need to use a different type of rice. Mine was all sticky.

You could do a veggie chili that would be relatively healthy.

Chili, Mac and Cheese and Lasagna are the best three I can think of to satisfy these requirements.
