Leftovers, always get me, when it comes to finding something to go with them. Last evening, I fell back on an old dish, which saved my butt several times, when raising the kids. It's easy to make and you don't have to slave over it. I had a pot of pintos left from the day before and some potato salad, so I threw together the "shit on a shingle". Most of you here in the "south" can relate to this dish. If you aren't from around here and haven't been introduced to it, then let me explain.
It's hamburger or sausage or a mix of both meats, broken up in a nice big iron skillet, with your seasonings, onions, chopped or sliced, maybe some other things you like thrown in as well. Saute, this until the meat is done and then scoot the mixture to one side of the pan. Place about 1/2 cup of flour in the grease and mix well. Then mix the meat over into the flour and get some water. Pour the water into the mixture, stirring while doing so to create the gravy. When the mixture starts to thicken pour about a cup of milk in slow and stir to thin the mixture. After a few minutes your mixture will thicken again and you are ready to serve it over toast along with your other leftovers.......
