Note
For best results, ensure the leftover meat is diced into uniform, bite-sized pieces so it heats evenly.
If you have leftover potatoes, dice them raw and add them to the skillet at the beginning with the onions and celery, cooking until they are tender and crispy before adding the meat.
Feel free to add other aromatics like garlic, bell peppers, or carrots for extra flavor and nutrition.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain texture.
Serve with a fried or poached egg on top for a richer, more substantial meal.
