50 minPart stew, part casserole, entirely comforting.
Cubed SPAM and broccoli simmer in a rich sauce made from cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, Parmesan, shredded carrots, celery, and onion until everything is thick and velvety.
That creamy filling gets poured into a casserole dish and topped with a cheesy buttermilk pancake-mix batter studded with cheddar, then scattered with sliced almonds.
Bake until the topping puffs up golden and the almonds toast to a nutty crunch.
Kitchen Tips
- Cube the cream cheese small so it melts quickly and evenly into the sauce without lumps.
- Don’t overmix the biscuit topping batter. A few lumps are fine and keep it light and fluffy.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes out of the oven before serving so the filling thickens up and doesn’t run everywhere.
