Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with oil or non-stick spray.
Heat the vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown slightly.
While the potatoes cook, cut the Spam into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and half the shredded cheese. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooked potatoes, cubed Spam, and frozen mixed vegetables to the bowl. Toss to combine everything evenly with the soup mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Top with the remaining shredded cheese and breadcrumbs, if using, for added crunch.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
