Spam Casserole

We made this recipe for fun. It actually turned out to be pretty good. It draws on the cult-classic DIY mix called “SOS mix.”

You can actually use real ham instead of spam, if you wish.

You could serve this with steamed broccoli or a jar of home-canned green beans.

You could also use chunks of home-canned chicken, turkey or pork instead of the spam or ham.

To be clear: this is a cooking with a DIY mix recipe, not a recipe for canning.

This recipe uses:

DIY Soup or Sauce (SOS) mix
