My dear old Dad used to love roast beef. Normally, if there were any leftover he would make himself a roast beef and tomato sandwich. I have a vivid memory of him enjoying this sandwich a few days after Christmas.
Although if there was a lot leftover he would make this dish. I always really enjoyed this meal and I remember eating this dinner from when I was 5 until I was 25 years old. It’s one of those dishes that made me appreciate the leftovers. It amazes me how you can make leftovers into another meal. As it’s almost Christmas, of course, I had to share the recipe with you.

Leftover Roast Beef and Parma Ham with Mash Potatoes was yummy. I make this meal for my little family and they love it too. Once the roast beef has been cooked the leftovers can be frozen. They will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. This dinner is easy to prepare and cook. Although it is slightly time consuming the efforts are worth the results. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
