9 Time-Saving Recipes for Hectic Fall Evenings

Put what you’ve already made to good use. If you had roasted chicken for dinner last night turn the leftovers into soup, tacos or noodle bowls tonight. Leftover ham can be tucked into hash, pasta and stromboli.

7. Super easy mini chicken pot pies

Cute and delicious mini chicken pot pies are a fun and easy way to use up leftover chicken. The Girl on Bloor uses puff pastry for the pie top, making these pies a snap.

8. Taco pie

Use that leftover taco meat and make a pie (or double batch it when you make tacos the first time and freeze the leftovers for additional meals!) This recipe from The Seasoned Mom takes a mere 20 minutes to bake and will leave leftovers for days.

9. Sweet potato hash

Breakfast for dinner turns in ordinary weeknight into something a little more fun. If you have any leftover sweet potatoes — or regular potatoes — this dinner from Dinner at the Zoo practically makes itself.
