What is Bubble and Squeak?
I first learned of Bubble and Squeak from my neighbor Julie about 30 years ago! Her family was from England and after every holiday they would enjoy bubble and squeak. This is a hearty English dish that has been around since the 18th century! Similar to colcannon, it is made with potatoes and cabbage along with optional meats like bacon or sausage. While it may not always be traditional, we often add whatever was left from dinner the night before. You can find some info on the origins of this recipe here. Cabbage This dish combines both cabbage and potatoes in the base. Cut the cabbage into thin slices or even use coleslaw mix if you’re in a hurry. Potatoes This recipe traditionally uses boiled potatoes but any leftover spuds will do from mashed to scalloped to roasted! You can leave them kind of chunky like you would home fries or smash them up to make a mashed mixture. Meat Use leftover meat from last night’s dinner, ham, beef, corned beef, bacon, sausage… anything goes.
How to Make Bubble and Squeak
This recipe offers a quick turn-around while it bubbles and squeaks on the stovetop. Perfect for those busy, busy mornings (or evenings)! You can also bake bubble and squeak in the oven but make sure the oven is already pre-heated so the casserole cooks quickly.
How to Serve Bubble and Squeak
Scoop it straight from the pan! Serve with cut fresh fruit, poached eggs, or even biscuits (crumpets with fresh cream, maybe?). Bubble and squeak is hearty enough to make for lunch or even a light dinner served with a crisp salad and some breadsticks! Tasty, and oh, so versatile!
Leftovers
This is made from leftovers but also reheats well once combined! Several hours or a few days in the refrigerator (tightly covered, of course) will allow the flavors to blend together more, making it all the better!
To reheat, just pop it into the microwave or reheat on the stove and refresh the flavors with a dash of salt and pepper! To freeze place in airtight freezer containers and label with the date. Simple, savory, and satisfying for another day!
