The combination of spices like thyme and oregano adds depth, while the breadcrumb topping provides a delightful crunch. Serve it hot for a filling main course that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan or skillet, brown the finely chopped Spam over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic, finely chopped onion, thyme, and Mexican oregano to the Spam. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the tomatoes (or tomato soup if using the soup variation) and bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly and the onions and garlic are fully cooked.
  6. Add the Velveeta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mustard to the saucepan. Cook and stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Remove the sauce from heat and pour it over the cooked noodles. Mix well to ensure all noodles are evenly coated.
  8. Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray. Transfer the noodle and sauce mixture into the dish.
  9. Sprinkle the top evenly with bread crumbs.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177ðC) for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
