Just a final few words on that last idea right there, as it’s one of my favourite options that I use at least once a week, and never get bored of. If you’ve got leftovers from last night’s dinner, there’s a pretty good chance that they’ll work really well as a savoury crumpet topping idea.
You can do this with chilli con carne, stews, casseroles, curries, and a huge variety of other dishes. Just reheat, pile on to your toasted crumpet, and you’re good to go! If you like, you can add some fresh herbs, dried chilli flakes, or a little grated cheese before popping under the grill until melty and delicious.
Using up your leftovers cuts down on waste, is good for the environment and your wallet, and stops you from having to make an extra trip to the supermarket. Total winner all round!
