I was recently asked to try the New and Improved PAM® formula. PAM is a product I use all the time and wondered how the new formula would compare.
It can be so frustrating to work on making a delicious dish only to have it stick to the pan. Not only does make it hard to serve, but you also loose some of the meal to the pan and end up having to soak and scrub for clean up.
PAM’s new formula is designed to prevent food from sticking on your dishes and make clean up a breeze. The New and Improved PAM® formula has been shown to be 70% better at attacking baked-on food vs. bargain cooking sprays.
As a food blogger, I need every meal be picture-perfect. Plus, I would love to have more time to enjoy my food and spend less time soaking, scrubbing, and cleaning in the kitchen. So, I picked a gooey, cheesy, stick-to-the-pan casserole to put the new formula to the test.
King Ranch Chicken Casserole
I made a King Ranch Chicken Casserole. This consists of layers of corn tortillas, creamy chicken mixture, and cheese (the ultimate baked on culprit). Armed with the new PAM, I went into battle.
The casserole itself was a family pleaser, and the new PAM left me a winner with hardly any clean up. There was no need for soaking or scrubbing. There was no casserole left sticking to the pan. In fact, there was hardly anything left in the pan. Put your toughest recipes to the test and watch as PAM comes to the rescue!
No matter what meal you’re cooking, PAM helps you pull it off. Even better. BlogHer and PAM have provided a $100 Cooking.com gift card giveaway plus coupons for the New and Improved PAM Cooking Spray and Hunt’s Tomatoes for one lucky reader (see rules below).

Chessy chicken and broccoli casserole
★★★★
Eggs!
Pam is awesome…and this casserole is an old favorite!
I use PAM whenever I bake, most recently when I made corn dog muffins for my kids lunches! I love PAM.
With everything
I think your math is wrong. You have two cups of shredded cheese but you are using 3/4 of a cup per layer. For three layers, you should be using 2/3 of a cup of cheese.
Carmelized Sweet Potato Casserole … so yummy but oh so stuck to the pan without PAM 🙂 made that mistake only once!
Pancakes!
I use Pam for anything breakfast: waffles, eggs, and especially sausage,egg breakfast cassarole
I will not bake anything without PAM SPRAY!! I especially love it on my pan of brownies and when I make meatloaf. Makes for such an easy cleanup for my other half(since I cooked)hehe.

My favorite recipe to make is lasagna but after looking at your recipe I remember how much I always enjoyed it. I didn’t enjoy the clean up but now that Pam is even better I’m going to have to try it again.
Your casserole looks delicious! I like PAM spray for my enchilada casserole and oven french toast!

All I know is I get so frustrated when I run out of PAM because I know my recipes will stick to the pan and not turn out how I would like them to. My favorite recipe to use PAM for is a delicious sausage, egg, breakfast casserole! Yum!
I use for just about everything but our favorite is probably homemade baked mac and cheese.

I should probably buy this in bulk. I use it for nearly everything. Love it.
I’ve never used Pam before so I don’t have a favorite meal to use Pam on. However, I would use the opportunity to use it for a scalloped potato and ham casserole.

I spray Pam on my measuring utensils when I’m cooking with honey or molasses…the sticky stuff slides right out!
Its hard to pick just one meal because I use Pam for everything. I guess where I like to use it the most is in the crockpot, there is nothing worse than cleaning up stuck on food in the crockpot!

Awesome for lasagna – and casseroles.
