Bubble and Squeak

Bubble and Squeak is an old English dish, traditionally made as a way to use up the leftovers of Sunday's dinner. The name comes from the noise the dish makes as it is cooking in the pan. Nowadays, Bubble and Squeak is often made without the cold roast beef and the meat can be omitted if you prefer.
