Easy Microwave Meals That Reheat Deliciously with Le Sauce Gourmet Sauces

Leftovers get a bad rap — usually because they reheat poorly. Dry chicken. Rubbery pasta. Sad, sauce-less meals that feel nothing like they did on night one. But here’s the thing: when meals are built with the right sauce, reheating in the microwave can actually be a win.

At Le Sauce & Co., our gourmet sauces and gravies are made to protect your food, lock in moisture, and bring flavor back to life — even after a spin in the microwave. That makes them perfect for meal prep, busy weeknights, work lunches, and those “I just need something good, fast” moments.

Here are some of the easiest meals to reheat in the microwave — and the Le Sauce sauce that makes each one shine.

1. Chicken & Rice Bowls (The Ultimate Reheat Hero)

Chicken and rice is a classic meal-prep staple… and also one of the easiest to mess up when reheating. The secret? Sauce on top.

Cook your chicken simply (grilled, baked, or shredded), add rice and veggies, then generously spoon over:

Marry Me Chicken Sauce
Savory Garlic & Butter
Savory Mushroom Gravy

When reheated, the sauce steams the rice, keeps the chicken tender, and brings everything back to life. Pro tip: stir halfway through for even heating and peak sauciness.

2. Meatballs That Stay Juicy

Meatballs are microwave gold — especially when paired with the right sauce.

Beef, turkey, or chicken meatballs reheat beautifully when coated in:

Beefy French Onion Sauce
Steakhouse Sauce
Savory Mushroom Gravy

Serve them over mashed potatoes, pasta, or polenta, or eat them straight from the bowl (no judgment). The sauce keeps them moist and flavorful instead of dense and dry.

3. High-Protein Pasta (Yes, It Works)

Pasta can be tricky in the microwave, but Le Sauce makes it foolproof.

Try:

Protein pasta with grilled chicken + Savory Garlic & Butter
Ground beef pasta with Beefy French Onion
Mushroom-forward pasta with Savory Mushroom Gravy

Add a splash of water or broth before reheating, cover loosely, and microwave in short bursts. The sauce rehydrates the noodles and keeps everything creamy instead of clumpy.

4. Turkey or Chicken Meatloaf Slices

Meatloaf is one of those foods that somehow tastes even better the next day — especially when reheated with sauce.

Slice your meatloaf, add a generous pour of:

Beefy French Onion
Savory Mushroom Gravy

Cover and microwave until warm. The sauce soaks in, keeping every bite tender and rich. Pair with leftover veggies or mashed potatoes for a no-effort comfort meal.

5. Steak or Beef Bowls That Don’t Dry Out

Reheating steak can feel risky — unless it’s finished with sauce.

Slice leftover steak thin, add rice or potatoes, and top with:

Steakhouse Sauce

Microwave gently (lower power if possible), and the sauce helps prevent overcooking while adding bold, umami flavor. It’s an easy way to make yesterday’s steak feel brand new.

6. Mashed Potatoes That Stay Creamy

Mashed potatoes love sauce — especially in the microwave.

Reheat with:

Savory Garlic & Butter
Savory Mushroom Gravy
Thanksgiving Turkey Gravy (seasonal favorite!)

Stir halfway through and add more sauce if needed. The result? Smooth, creamy potatoes instead of stiff, gluey leftovers.

7. Veggie-Forward Bowls That Don’t Feel Like Leftovers

Roasted vegetables, lentils, chickpeas, or mushrooms can lose their magic after day one — unless you give them sauce support.

Le Sauce favorites for veggie bowls:

Savory Mushroom Gravy
Savory Garlic & Butter
Steakhouse Sauce (yes, even on veggies)

The sauce adds richness and depth, making plant-forward meals feel hearty and satisfying, even when reheated.

Why Le Sauce Reheats So Well

Le Sauce & Co. gourmet sauces are built on real broths, fats, and slow-developed flavor — not starches or artificial fillers. That means they:

Retain moisture during reheating
Redistribute heat more evenly
Prevent proteins from drying out
Bring flavor back instead of muting it

Translation: your microwave finally works for you.

The Takeaway: Better Sauce = Better Leftovers

If you want meals that reheat well, start with meals that are sauced well.

Le Sauce & Co. makes it easy to cook once, eat well all week, and actually look forward to leftovers — whether you’re reheating at home, at work, or straight from the fridge on a busy night.

Because great food shouldn’t have an expiration date after day one — it just needs the right sauce.
