Karen Combs of Union Bridge, Maryland puts leftover pork to good use as a side or main dish. "The colorful combination is a family favorite," she assures. It's a budget favorite, too, at 49 cents a serving.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough seasoning. Next time I'll add more Cajun seasoning and see how it turns out.
