Piggybank Pork Bake

This week we were looking for something we could do with leftovers. Earlier in the week we grilled pork fajitas I bought on sale and had a ton of meat leftover. Well this Piggybank Pork Bake seemingly just dropped from the Heavens. This recipe is from The Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library (1971), Budget Casseroles.


This pork recipe was so easy the teen put it together herself. I could not believe how well she did chopping the green pepper. I wanted to take a video but the camera fouled up on me. I was lucky to get a image of the finished product:


We used Fideo for the "uncooked fine noodles" and we substituted Pam spray for the shortening. This recipe was a great guide for us to use up some leftover pork and it tasted really good. I'm thinking I might prefer a different cheese and cream soup, maybe Mozzarella or Pepper Jack for the cheese and cream of celery or mushroom. I might also like it spiced up a bit, perhaps use rotel instead of Pimento.
