foodie fridays: leftover prime rib naan nachos with horseradish cream

Leftovers.

We meet again.

The last time we met I decided turkey and stuffing were meant to keep the holidays happy by going inside a golden, delicious pizza pull-apart bread. Even though I don’t exactly cheer for Team Leftover, I would gladly devour a pizza solely disguised as turkey round two.

But! What if I told you I think I have the pizza pull-apart bread beat? Every year, Mr. B and I are in charge of cooking Christmas dinner for my immediate family. We really enjoy cooking together, plus, it gives my parents a much-needed break!

The main course changes depending on what we are craving, but I will say that prime rib makes an appearance more than ham, pork, or roast beef. There’s something about slow roasted prime rib rubbed with a combination of ground coffee and brown sugar that makes me instantly break into the Carlton happy dance.

So, to keep the holiday train chugging along, I thought we could keep things simple, but tasty. That’s why I am madly crushing on these leftover prime rib on naan nachos with horseradish cream. Nachos just make the world a better place. Throw some prime rib on top and you’ll want to repeat the holidays.

And cue Tom Jones! “It’s not unusual to be loved by someone……”
