I am going to cook a joint of brisket in the slow cooker tomorrow (the first time I've cooked a joint of meat in the slow cooker - have read all your tips and finally plucked up courage to give it a go) As there is only two of us to eat this, I'd like some idea of what can I do the next night with the left over beef.

Thanks

Cottage pie, curry or cold with salad.
A cold roast beef sandwich - with mayo and onion on a toasted bagel sounds good to me.
Shepherd's Pie

1 pound leftover roast beef, cubed
2 onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup homemade beef gravy
4 cups mashed cooked potatoes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place roast beef in an even layer in bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Cover with sliced onions, then gravy. Spread mashed potatoes over top.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until potatoes are browned.

Metric:
180 g leftover roast beef, cubed
2 onions, thinly sliced
120 ml homemade beef gravy
840 g mashed cooked potatoes
Chop the beef finely, add cream, grated parmesan, bit of tomato puree (or better still, finely chopped sundried tomatoes in olive oil), garlic to taste, dash of red wine or (or port if I have a bottle handy), herbs, salt and pepper.
Use this mixture as a filling for pasta, eg cannelloni or conchiglioni (jumbo shells).
I sometimes do this recipe with braised oxtail in pasta shells, covered in a bechamel sauce then baked in the oven. Always goes down a treat.

Thanks for your tips, but in the end there was only enough left for a sandwich tomorrow!
