About
There are some famous food combos that eventually get so big, they just get referred to by one word. That famous "Cuban" flavor combination has now made its way beyond the bun with this Amazing Cuban Casserole. This delicious bake starts with a creamy cheese sauce that encompasses loads of succulent shredded pork, topped with thin-sliced ham, melty Swiss cheese, and of course, those tantalizingly sour dill pickles. A lot of dill pickles. Love a Cuban? You will certainly fall in love with this Amazing Cuban Casserole, too. One word... outstanding!
