Recipes for Leftover Sauerbraten

Chances are that, when you make a traditional German sauerbraten meal with spaetzle and braised cabbage, you will have leftovers. They can be reheated, but why not try something different. The combination of beef roast, cabbage and spaetzle makes a delicious soup that is especially useful when you need to stretch the leftovers to feed the family. If all you have is leftover meat, make sandwiches. All of the original recipes are listed in the similar and related recipes.
