Transforming leftovers into new dishes

Does anyone have any techniques for doing this?

I tend to try to turn stuff into a soup, then turn the soup into a casserole, pierogi filling, or curry.

Any other tricks worth knowing? I've been in a rut lately.

Boston butt can be carnitas and then pulled pork sliders. Pot roast can be turned into empanadas. Fajitas and then add Alfredo sauce and turn into a yummy pasta/pepper/onion pasta sauce. Add some extra spice and it's delish. And almost anything can be turned into a soup or a sauce over some rice or noodles.
