Cuban Sandwich Casserole
Love these flavors from an old classic "Cuban" sandwich. Add pasta to pull the casserole together.
Equipment
- large pot
Ingredients
- 1 (12oz) package egg noodles (uncooked)
- 1/2 TBS salt
- 4 cups cooked & seasoned pulled pork (non-sauced)
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream (DIVIDED)
- 1 1/2 cups diced ham (DIVIDED)
- 2 cups shredded swiss cheese (DIVIDED)
- 1 cup dill pickles, diced (DIVIDED)
- 1/4 cup + 1TBS Dijon mustard (DIVIDED)
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 TBS mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and set aside.
- Cook egg noodles per directions on package in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and leave in pot.
- In a large deep skillet place cooked, seasoned pulled pork and start breaking it apart and heating it through. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup shredded swiss cheese, 1/4 cup (or 4 TBS) Dijon mustard, 6 oz diced ham, 1/2 cup diced pickle, salt & pepper.NOTE: pulled pork can be found in grocer's deli section with prepared foods.NOTE: you can also make your own pulled pork for this recipe. I have a YouTube recipe at Catherine's Plates called Sweet & Spicy Pulled Pork (adjust seasonings to your taste).
- Turn off burner and stir in cooked noodles to coat. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish evenly. Top with remaining cheese (1 cup), ham (6oz), and pickles (1/2 cup).
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until cheese has melted and golden brown.
- In small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, 1 TBS Dijon, 1 TBS yellow mustard, and 2-4 TBS of heavy cream to form a drizzle consistency. Drizzle on top of cooked casserole. Enjoy.
Looks so good! Just found you within the past month and I love your cooking shows. Do you have a teaching background? You are so organized, and your instructions are so easy to follow!
Thank you! I don’t have a teaching background, but I did work in an HR department for 18 years in an Oil & Gas company not sure if that counts.
