Left-over barbecue, flaked or shredded, can be used in a dozen different ways. The one I like best uses fluffy rice, dotted with butter, lining a baking dish. Filled to <strong>the</strong> edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rice is hot left-over barbecue, made rich with packaged or canned beef gravy. You can also use beef stock and add hot tomato sauce or picante sauce according to taste. Shredded left-over barbecued beef is great for making tacos or even used in making tamales. Beef-pot pies or shepherd's pie, using several kinds <strong>of</strong> vegetables and flaked barbecue, are wonderful fare on a cold winter's night. Barbecued beef, run through <strong>the</strong> meat grinder and added to a Dutch oven <strong>of</strong> fried potatoes and onions, sticks to <strong>the</strong> ribs, and is ano<strong>the</strong>r good way to use leftovers. Bean 'n Beef Pie 3 cups shredded left-over barbecue beef 1 can (3V2 ounces) French fried onions l h cup dry bread crumbs 1 can (10% ounces) condensed cream <strong>of</strong> mushroom soup 1 egg 'A teaspoon thyme leaves 'A teaspoon salt and dash pepper 1 can (16 ounces) French-style green beans, drained Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix meat, half <strong>the</strong> onions, <strong>the</strong> bread crumbs, V* cup <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> soup, <strong>the</strong> egg, thyme leaves, salt and pepper. Press mixture evenly against <strong>the</strong> bottom and side <strong>of</strong> an ungreased nine-inch pie pan. Turn beans into <strong>the</strong> meat-lined pan; spread remaining soup over <strong>the</strong> beans. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes. Arrange <strong>the</strong> remaining onions on top; bake 10 minutes.
