Recipe for empty the fridge pie
We love pie at home and really try to minimize our food waste as much as possible. Therefore, we often have what I usually call “Clean Out the Fridge Pie” on a busy weekday.
Basically, there are almost no limits to the direction you can take, as long as you have a good pie crust and maybe add some fried bacon.
In this pie, I have leftover chicken and rice topped with leek and pointed cabbage – and of course, two ingredients I almost always have on hand: Onions and bacon.
