Ok, What Are My Options... If Any?!

Just thought I would ask the lovelies in here what I can do, if anything... DH is alseep after a long night at work, so past experience has taught me not to wake him for trivial matters ;)

Last night I made a massive Beef Strog in the slow cooker - there is never usually any left at all, but I made double because we had extra people staying last night.

Turns out I have STACKS left over... is it any good to keep & Luke & I can have it again tonight?

Its still in the slow cooker (not cooking) - It was on warm until DH came home last night & ate his, then he turned it off (prob around 1.30-2am). The lid has been on the whole time.

With other things in the SC, I just put the leftovers in containers.. but just not sure with strog because of the sour cream if its any good now?

The thought of putting it in the fridge & then re heating doesn't seem right either with the sour cream :dunno:

So what can I do.. anything?

Seems like such a waste (and it was a fab strog, too ;)).. added bonus would be that I don't have to cook anything tonight :lol:

Or do I just cut my losses & Eddie & Leo (our dogs LOL) get to have a gourmet meal today?!

Thanks in advance :D

If you are going to use it tonight I think it should be fine. I would package it up now and then make sure that you heat it through properly tonight.

You will probably find that it actually tastes even better tonight - I find that things like that mature a bit overnight and taste even better.

Should I package it up & put it in the fridge?
So you think it will be fine to cool & then reheat with the sour cream?

Thanks Muppity ;)

Yep - I would package it up and put it in the fridge.

The sour cream might separate a little while it is in the fridge (depends on how liquid your sauce is - the thicker it is the less it will happen) but it should mix back in once it is heated up.

It will be fine, we had strogg for tea last night too, DH has the left overs for lunch today too :)

:( i wish i could eat dairy!!! that sounds sooooooooooo yum

Yep it will be fine in the fridge until tonight. ENJOY! :D
