Recipe challenge...(tastes better reheated)

cruelpupet · 08-09-2009, 12:40 PM

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

Bonus if its healthy and/or gluten free.

MrGreg · 08-09-2009, 12:45 PM

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

I think leftover spaghetti can be better the second day.

InfiniteNothing · 08-09-2009, 02:23 PM

Lasagna

Jcranmer · 08-09-2009, 07:19 PM

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.

I really dig zacharys pizza reheated. It makes the crust a little bit softer....yum.

Yossarian · 08-10-2009, 05:12 AM

beef stew.

or spaghetti sauce.

mcs328 · 08-10-2009, 06:42 AM

Chili Mac and pizza.

PrObLy · 08-10-2009, 05:31 PM

Don't forget about chili

Nija · 08-11-2009, 04:16 AM

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.

Airencracken · 08-11-2009, 05:29 AM

Another vote for stew.

attgig · 08-11-2009, 09:29 AM

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:

Gumbo, soup, stew, yup yup yup

Oh, and jambalaya!

mcs328 · 08-17-2009, 10:18 AM

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.

home made chili and stew

cruelpupet · 08-18-2009, 01:18 PM

Tastes good reheated.
Healthy.
Gluten-free.

Pick One.

cruelpupet · 08-31-2009, 10:02 AM

I pick two

Tastes good reheated or cold.
Healthy.

VTGreg · 09-01-2009, 09:12 AM

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.
