This pork recipe was pulled in haste. My teen saw the curly noodles and we just had to make it. We were all surprised to find how good it was. This Saucy Twist Pork Dish from the Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library (1971), Budget Casseroles is great, with some minor adjustments.



First, the pork recipe calls for a canned pork meat, you know, Spam. I am not a big Spam fan. We decided to use pork chops instead. We seasoned the chops with a little salt and pepper and browned them in a large fry pan.

While the chops were browning, we cooked the tri-color spiral pasta. The teen thought this would be better pasta than the plain corkscrew macaroni the recipe called for.

Once the pork was cooked through we cubed it and prepared to put the casserole together.


This is what the Saucy Twist Pork Dish looked like when it came out of the oven. The aroma was amazing.

I think our idea to tweak this pork recipe prior to cooking it was superb. The flavor was excellent. Everyone liked the dish and we will be making it again.
