too salty for my taste. and while I don't mind eating spam when I'm using up my tornado shelter rations every 4 years, I'm not overly impressed with it as a meat to base a dish around. -

Well, I was concerned about the spam at first, but as I was dishing up my plate, and seeing the kids quiet, I saw them EATING AWAY. A nice easy tasty dinner. So much for my picky eaters. Real cheesy too. I also added a dash of garlic powder. Made for Zaar Stars. Thanks for the recipe . In my keeper file it goes. -
Easy to prep. Used about a cup of pre-shredded cheese. Husband went back for seconds, and my picky-eater 5 yr old is devouring his share like nobody's business. I added some powdered garlic and paprika. Yeah, I'll be making this again. -
I have made this recipe for probably 20 years, I have got to the point that I just cook it on top of the stove. I also add 1 can of peas and sometimes use cream of celery soup, depending on what I have on hand. The recipe that I have is called Homemaker's Holiday Casserole. My recipe says it can be made a day or two(I can't remember exactly how long)ahead of time and refigerated until ready to use. I imagine if I wanted it to be fancier I would probably bake it according to directions. But I'm getting to be a crankyold grandma and invent my own methods.lol -
TY Shelby for a great idea or I should say another use for Spam. I usually just slice it up for frying, or grate it and mix it with a jar of cheeze=whiz to broil openface on hamburg buns. This is another fantastic idea. I only omitted the onion flakes for the family's preference. Also, used cubed velveeta cheese instead of American. I followed a previous reviewers advice and sprinkled a bit of shredded cheddar on top the last 10 minutes of baking. Mine took less than an hour of baking time. I whipped this together in the a.m. and when I got home from work...popped it in the oven. Love these types of meals. I'm glad I tagged and made for I Recommend!~

I sliced the Spam into 1/8*1/8*1-inch pieces and sautéed them for about fifteen minutes over medium-high heat with 3/4-cup chopped onion. I prepared the rest according to directions (except for 2 cups grated sharp cheddar, Cream of Mushroom soup, and no dried onion), spread the mac/Spam/cheddar mixture in a 9x13-inch casserole dish, laid the slices of American cheese out on top of the mixture, then covered the dish with aluminum foil and baked at 350° for 75 minutes. The foil keeps the cheese topping from crisping, thus enabling it to melt together and down into the casserole. This was the first time I ever made this recipe, the very day I heard about it, and it turned out beautifully. My entire family liked it and there were NO LEFTOVERS. I'll be doing this again.

<p>I've loved cooking and baking for as long as I can remember. I've really gotten into it more in the past few years. It's just my husband and I so I can't do all the cooking I would like though. <br /><br /><br /><a title=PaperBackSwap.com - Book Club to Swap, Trade & Exchange Books for Free. href=http://www.paperbackswap.com/index.php?n=12&r_by=Shelby><img src=http://www.paperbackswap.com/images/icons/weblog_icon_600_120_2.gif alt=PaperBackSwap.com - Book Club to Swap, Trade & Exchange Books for Free. width=600 height=120 /></a> <br /><br />I love to watch tv & movies, go out with friends, read, write letters and spend time with my husband & family. I have some of the most amazing friends a girl could ask for, and a family that is just as great. <br /><br />All of my recipes posted are either ones I've tried or ones that I want to try. I don't post things that I don't think I'd like. (However, the list of foods I don't like keeps getting smaller and smaller thanks to this site!) <br /><br />I love to play the tag games here, as you can see from the banners below. I've really enjoyed Photo Tag. It's been fun to see how my photos have slowly gotten better and my techniques have improved. <br /><br />I'm so thankful I found this site. I have met so many amazing people that have become a part of my life. Hopefully someday I can meet some of you in person! <br /><br />Thanks to all who have given me all of the great reviews and photos on my recipes.
