A nostalgic, pantry-friendly casserole featuring SPAM®, noodles, and cheese. Easy, budget-friendly, and surprisingly satisfying.
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package tri-color rotini pasta
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup ketchup
1 (3 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as spam®), cubed
2 cups shredded cheddar
Directions:
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Place the cooked pasta into a large mixing bowl, and add the cream of mushroom soup, ketchup, green chiles, onion, and luncheon meat. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and evenly sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and the Cheddar cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
