I made this recipe years ago, after finding it in my little "Best Recipes:cooking with spam" paperback cookbook. I really liked it, but I'm a fan of spam anyway.

This was an easy and innovative way to use up that can of Spam in my pantry. Next time I will brown the Spam before putting it into the casserole and I think I'll use a tad less cheese on the top. I also used green onion and I think next time I'll use yellow onion to give it a more pronounced onion flavor.

I REALLY enjoyed this dish! It was very easy to put together. I didn't use a mixer, just a spoon and combined everything. I had larger pieces of bread so it ended up being a chunkier puff, which I really enjoyed. Everyone was a little unsure about it when they first saw it, but it was promptly devoured. It's great with a good squirt or two of ketchup on top as well! Thanks!

Attention Spam Fans! Here is a combination Monty Python *didn't* think of. This casserole makes a great entree for brunch or a light supper. It is very flavorful and smells wonderful while baking! I don't have an 8x12-inch pan, so I used a 9x13-inch pan. It was fine, just a little thinner I guess. I did not even need to adjust the baking time. Thanks KittenCal!
