If you want to know once and for all how to make Bubble and Squeak, here is a simple recipe of the ultimate English comfort food. There is nothing better than throwing cooked leftover Sunday lunch ingredients together and tucking into them again during the week. While Bubble and Squeak is traditionally made out of leftovers, I am going to show you how to make Bubble and Squeak from scratch in case you want to (and need a delicious vegetarian family meal recipe). I am also going to show you how this dish can actually be made in the oven or under the grill too, which I like to do for a couple of reasons. One, you don’t have to stand over it and worry about it burning. Two, you can add cheese for an extra crunchy, delicious topping!
Why you’ll love this Bubble and Squeak recipe
⭐️ Low cost and perfect for leftovers ⭐️ Comforting and pack with vegetables ⭐️ Just so delicious! It is along the similar lines of Colcannon or Champ, both Irish dishes that are similar but aren’t a crusted mash up of leftovers, rather more creamed mashed potato. Then there’s Rumbledethumps, a Scottish traditional dish that’s also named after the apparent sounds the ingredients make in the pan as they fry! I’m going to show you two versions of how to make Bubble and Squeak – one from scratch so you know what can go into it, or if you just fancy having it any time of the week, and also what to do if you are using leftovers. Just defrost and then bake as normal. Because the traditional method is to throw all leftovers in together to avoid waste, knowing that the already cooked flavours come together and are delicious in whatever form, it’s a very forgiving dish. There’s no need to stick to particular amounts and weights here – just guess or chuck it all in! Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
