Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spam
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Boil them in salted water for 8-10 minutes until just tender, then drain and set aside.
While the potatoes cook, dice the Spam and chop the onion into small pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the diced Spam to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until lightly browned.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, cooked Spam and onions, sauerkraut, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Dust the top with paprika for color and flavor.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your German Spam Casserole!
