This week, I continue my series on comfort food casseroles. Even though it's not St. Paddy's Day, you'll love Corned Beef and Cabbage Casserole. Cheesy Spaghetti Casserole is definitely a twist on your average pasta dish. And, I can't believe I'm actually including a recipe with Spam, that oftenjoked about canned product that's probably in the back corner of your pantry. But the recipe, Spam and Rice Casserole is actually quite tasty and extremely simple. If you just can't stand the thought of Spam, replace with ham. Happy eating!
