I'm so sorry we didn't like this. I followed the directions exactly but we just couldn't eat it and ended up throwing it out.

Do you like Spam? My husband does! And I don't let him eat it very often! This casserole is reminiscent of a casserole I used to make when we were first married. I have a smiling husband tonight. Thanks, Puppies777! I did add some grated cheese, and it was great comfort food!
