JIGGS DINNER
Tasty plate of JIGGS DINNER and a side of pot liquor to pour over your tasty meal.

Hi and welcome to our website!

If you are new to our channel or just looking for a recipe to use up your jiggs dinner or boiled dinner leftovers.

This recipe is made with your leftover Jiggs Dinner, most Newfoundlanders the next day would take all the left overs and cut up in small pieces and fry in a cast iron pan on their stove top.

JIGGS DINNER
Jiggs dinner is with pot liquor and no gravy and a boiled Sunday dinner got gravy and a protein of choice.

Sometimes there is no leftovers but years ago our elders would make enough to have leftovers for a different meal the next day or the third day.

JIGGS DINNER in Pastries
Place pastry on the counter and top with all the leftover jiggs dinner, just a small amount of each one.
