Leftover chilli with a face lift

We had chilli for a couple of days, I don't think we would be able to handle another day of the same ... Too booting for us! Today we only had some left, which was not enough to feed even one of us. Usually that would most likely end up in the bin as it was not enough for anyone to bother with reheating it (we don't have a microwave) and no one wanting to eat chilli once again.

Since I starting paying more attention to what we throw away I noticed that number one reason is leftovers in smaller quantities. Since we cook on daily basis we do not tend to throw away as much in unused spoiled produce - we do inventory eve two days what has to be used within next 4 days - it seems to be working well.

I am going to share how the boring chilli received a facelift. For this recipe you can use any other one-pot dish that you are left with.

Preparation: 5 minutes

Baking: 25 min

Serves 3

Ingredients:

6 slices of bread, for this recipe white bread works best as it has higher gluten content and will hold together better. I used Ezekiel and it was quite challenging to work with. 

Leftovers chilli or any other one-pot dish

2T cheese, grated

Some water

1. Preheat your oven to 177c. In a meantime prepare you muffin form by spreading a little bit of butter.

2. Cut out bread crust from your bread slices. Roll bread slices flat with a rolling pin. If you bread is not very fresh or if it not a white bread you will need to use some water.

3. Put rolled bread in the muffin forms. Make sure you don't have any major holes. Sprinkle a little bit of cheese if you have any holes. Place in the oven for 5-7 minutes.

4. Take muffin form out of the oven. Fill forms out with your leftovers and sprinkle some cheese on top. Put in the oven for another 15-20 minutes.

5. In a meantime prepare veggies to go with the dish. I prepared blanched green beans and some chopped tomatos with whole olives.

6. Enjoy!
