Glass Bakeware Warning

For premade casseroles or leftovers that are in a glass baking dish and have been refrigerated, do not place directly into a hot oven as the glass can shatter. Instead, place any cold glass bakeware into a cold oven to warm up while it preheats. Or allow the bakeware to rest outside of the fridge for 30 minutes to reach room temperature while the oven preheats.

Recipe Variations

  • If you don't have leftover roast beef, use thick-sliced deli roast beef or diced raw meat. Stir-fry the raw beef before combining it with the gravy and vegetables.
  • Swap the leftover roast beef for browned ground beef in the recipe.
  • Diced leftover lamb or roast pork are some other excellent alternatives, along with beef or pork gravy.
  • The vegetables are interchangeable as well. You can use frozen mixed vegetables, peas, green beans, or diced carrots. If you don't have pearl onions, use 1 medium onion, halved and sliced.

How to Store and Freeze

  • Leftover casserole will keep in the fridge for three to four days in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave or an oven at low temperature until completely hot.
  • For longer storage in the freezer, the casserole should keep for up to three months if frozen in an airtight container or zip-close plastic bag.

How Do You Moisten Leftover Roast Beef?

When reheating leftover roast beef, try adding a little beef broth to help restore some of the meat's moisture. Incorporating the beef into a moist casserole with gravy can also help restore the meat to its former glory.
