#1731 - Spam and Potato Casserole

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 can Spam
1 - 10.75oz. can Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can milk (use empty soup can to measure)
1/2 can water (use empty soup can to measure)
1 - 14oz. can of peas (drained)
6 to 8 red potatoes (washed, peeled and sliced)
salt and pepper to your taste

Grease a 2qt. casserole dish. Place sliced potatoes into the greased dish. Salt and pepper potatoes to your taste. In a bowl add mushroom soup, milk and water--stir. Pour the soup mixture over the sliced potatoes. Slice the Spam into bite sized pieces--put the Spam pieces over the soup mixture. sprinkle the drained peas on top of the Spam pieces. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Note: many people have reported that they had to increase the cooking time greatly, especially when cooking using an electric stove. If, after 30 minutes, the mixture is "runny", continue cooking until the liquid has a thick sauce consistency and potatoes are tender.

Hmmm, potatoes definitely not cooked in 30 minutes and the sauce is very watery. Hoping more cooking time fixes everything.

Yes, as it states in the recipe cook until the potatoes are tender--once the potatoes are tender the sauce should be thickened. We use a gas stove so if you're using an electric stove it will take longer. If after the potatoes are tender the sauce is more watery than you want it, add a few crushed Ritz crackers and stir before serving, or next time you can try only using 1/4 can of water instead of 1/2 can of water.

It had to cook way longer but it was super yummy and the liquid turned to perfect consistency!!! I just tried a few other recipes and this one is the best by far!!!
