The freezer in my beer fridge is full of scraps that I have saved for just such occasions. Leafy ends of celery, pepper stems, leftover bits of onion or carrots that don't get used all are saved for broths. Shrimp peels and lobster or crab shells are saved for gumbo or bisque. Ham bones for beans and soup.

I also keep jars of bacon grease from when my grease trap gets full. Refrigerated bacon grease works great as a sub for crisco if you want to make biscuits or anything where you are cutting into flour.

Also baked potatoes, I chop up and fry on the skillet.

I make meatloaf, just to make sammmiches.

A sandwich made with leftover Thanksgiving turkey beats all other sandwiches on earth.

I used to eat quite a bit of Hamburger Helper. It is great reheated and eaten on white bread like a sandwich.
