What are some "clean out the fridge" dishes you've done?

One of my favorite things when cooking is when I whip something up with random s*** I have sitting in my fridge. I like the forced creativity

I had some chicken sausage, a red onion, a russet potato, a jalapeno, a lime, some vegetable broth, some garlic and green beans

So I'm going to brown the sausage, then saute the onion/jalapeno/garlic, then deglaze with the broth, stir in some butter, honey & dijon to make like a honey mustard sauce. I'm going with a baked potato, sausage on the side and I figure I'll lime up the green beans as a side. Smother the potato & sausage in that potato and we're winning, son

Lot of stuff you can put on a grilled cheese sandwich or in Mac & cheese to make it better.

Or in a quesdailla. French fry quesadilla, mac and cheese quesadilla, just about any protein.

Since I always have a ton of each laying around, I sauté garlic, chillies and anchovies in a little olive oil, toss with some pasta and shower with grated cheese.
