This casserole was fabulous! My husband especially liked it - it's all gone.
A few changes:
- Shredded pork instead of diced(about 6-8 ounces)
- Added caramelized onions and garlic(one onion and two spoons of chopped garlic from a jar)
- Added hot sauce, sage, and allspice to taste
- Used a little bagged shredded cheese - sprinkled on top
I had some frozen pre-baked(skin on) potatoes - forked down(lightly mashed). This went in the bottom of a small casserole with the onion and garlic, then came my pre-made shredded pork(crispy top pieces), a small jar of horseradish, and lastly some milk poured over the top. I mixed it lightly with a fork, seasoned it, and baked uncovered for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees. I added the shredded cheese, and baked for another 10-15 minutes until it was melted and crispy. My version of the casserole served four.
It has got a slight kick - a twang and some heat, but really tasty. The ingredients were frugal as well. I get
a pork shoulder for .99 cents a pound, and cook it down to shredded pork. It gets frozen in 6-8 ounce packages. I do the same with the potatoes - buy many bags of them on sale, steam them, and freeze.
