Uses for Leftover Smoked Meat 

The number one rule when making use of leftover smoked meat is to prepare to have smoked meat left over! 

Smoked Meat Salad

Here’s one you can do with any kind of smoked meat, and in any combination.

Dice into small pieces whatever you have, excluding fat when possible. In a mixing bowl add:
The meat
Celery (Diced small)
Bell pepper (Diced small) Red or yellow adds a colorful presentation
Mayonnaise
A small amount of Creole mustard (Yellow mustard will do)
Salt (To taste)
A hint of herbs if you like
Thyme
Ground fennel
Cayenne pepper
Basil
Oregano 

Mix with a spoon into a spread.
Adjust mayonnaise as necessary to have appropriate looking dish.

 

Smoked Chicken Noodle Soup

Bring to a simmer in a saucepan, one to two quarts seasoned chicken stock (See recipe).

Have ready:
A cup of two of smoked, de-boned chicken, cut into small pieces
Chopped green onions
Chopped parsley
Sliced mushrooms (optional)
Add a cup or two of pasta (I like bite size pasta for soup such as bowties, shells, rotini, etc. (They stay in your spoon better))
When pasta is almost done add the other ingredients.

 There it is quick and easy.
