CREAMY SPAM BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

Creamy Spam Broccoli Casserole

Ingredients:

Vegetable cooking spray	1- 7 oz. pk elbow macaroni
2 C. skim milk	2 C. frozen cut broccoli, thawed and drained
½ C. chopped red bell pepper	1- 12 oz. can SPAM Luncheon Meat, cubed
2 TBS. cornstarch	1 C. shredded fat-free Cheddar-cheese

Heat oven to 350° F.
Spray 2" deep casserole with vegetable cooking spray.
Cut SPAM into bite sized cubes.
Put cubed SPAM into frying pan and brown (we like it cooked crispy), remove from pan and drain onto papertowel.
Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain.
In bowl, combine macaroni, broccoli, and SPAM.
Red Pepper: I steam the red peppers then puree it. ( I have one child who won't eat veggies, so I pruee them and add them to food.)
In small saucepan, stir together milk, cornstarch, and pepper puree until cornstarch is dissolved.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Remove sauce from heat and pour over macaroni, broccoli and SPAM in large bowl. Add cheese; stir until it is mixed in.
Pour ingredients into casserole dish and sprinkle the top of the casserole with cheese.
(May put in the microwave until cheese on top is melted if you don't want to use the oven) Bake 40 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Serves 8.
