Next, she prepares the Speedy Salmon Casserole, which bakes at the same oven temperature as the cake. "Living here on the Kenai Peninsula, we have plenty of fresh salmon.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) salmon, drained, flaked and bones removed
  • 2 cups mashed potato flakes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and ketchup until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add salmon.
  2. Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions. Spoon half into a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Top with salmon mixture, remaining potatoes and cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
