I made a huge pot of chili yesterday with 2.5 lbs of beef and 4 cans of beans, lots of vegetables and spicesChili is one of those foods you can't really mess up and I suspect it will be good leftoverWhat are some other great staples to cook / eat / freeze leftovers?
If your looking to cover the bottom of a pan, use aluminum foil.You can cook whatever you want without having a mess on your pan.I always use some type of spray, like pam,to keep stuff from stickingYou can use aluminum foil no matter what temperature your oven is set to.
parchment paper is OK, but at a broil you might want to leave that out tooParchment paper is not wax paper, but it's very similar, it just has no wax.
Farenheit 451 threshold for burning paper, and a cool underground movie.
I'm not an expert but I've watched a lot of cooking showsEvery time I've seen them use paper in the oven it is always what they call, parchment paper, I think it's just wax paper, but they always have it completely covered by what ever they are baking so it doesn't smoke or burnIt is usually a dessert bar in a deep baking dish, and they use it so it is easier to remove the bars from the panI wouldn't recommend using any other kind of paper in the oven, especially on the broil settingWhen reheating leftovers I've found that covering it helps so it doesn't dry out, of course that depends on what it is tooHope this helps good luck.
BBQ beef or pork freezes wellSpaghetti sauce, pesto sauce Machaca, Pozole, Carnitas and tamales also freeze wellChicken pot pie, chicken noodle soup, beef barley veg soupBurritos of any kindWrap them in aluminum foil, then place in freezer bag and they'll stay good for quite a while in the freezerJust pull one out and nuke it when you're hungry.
