Ann, I'm honestly thrilled to have helped. Other things to put in popovers:
scrambled eggs
pot pie filling
chicken or tuna salad
any stew
any salad
Heck, the other day, I used popovers for creamed beef (classic S.O.S.) made with sausage seasonings so it was more like sausage gravy)—a great breakfast!
I love them because they're the quickest of savory dinner quickbreads other than biscuits, which are messier to make and a lot fattier. From conception to service takes about 50 minutes, including preheating the oven and whirring it all in a blender for 30 seconds. There's no reason to do without them. I'd even try making them with a small amount of chili powder and cheddar powder (if I could eat that—low sodium diet for me) and using them for a breakfast of leftover chili, either red or white chicken chili.
Once you pop, you can't stop. (Wait, that's the wrong convenience food, isn't it? Oh, who cares, popovers are better!)
Oh, I never thought to try SOS in a popover or with sausage seasoning. Sounds like a good lunch for tomorrow, a cold and rainy day. Thanks for sharing! ~ MaryJane
