A great recipe for leftover pork chops, roasts, and more. A few bits from the fridge turn into a tasty dinner in less than 45 minutes. If I have a leftover grilled pork or the tail of a roast, I'll freeze it until I have enough for this dish. You can also use chicken or substitute some of the veggies for what you have on hand when cleaning out the fridge. Serve with sweet Thai chili sauce on the side.

Mississippi Beef Short Ribs
This Mississippi short ribs recipe is a version of Mississippi pot roast. To explain: the internet recently went wild for a delicious Mississippi pot roast in which beef is braised in a slow cooker with butter, pepperoncini, and packets of powdered au jus gravy and ranch dressing. Assuming that MSG from the latter two ingredients led to all the rage, I decided to mimic the flavors using seasonings I made from scratch and boneless short ribs. It came out well, especially when served over mashed potatoes with a garnish of parsley.
