Fridge Cleanout Dinner Ideas
A fridge cleanout dinner is the most practical use of your kitchen. Open your fridge, grab what needs using, and JustMakeThis will turn it into one concrete dinner.
The fridge cleanout formula
Look for: one protein (meat, eggs, beans), one starch (rice, pasta, bread, potatoes), and whatever vegetables are there. That's a meal in almost every combination.
- Don't be precious — use the weird combinations
- High heat solves most vegetable problems
- Strong seasoning makes odd combos work
- When in doubt: stir fry or frittata
Suggested meals
- Vegetable Fried Rice — Best fridge cleanout meal.
- Vegetable Frittata — Anything + eggs = frittata.
- Soup — Everything in a pot with broth.
- Pasta Primavera — Random vegetables over pasta.
