This is one recipe that looks pretty close to the ingredients in the wife’s blue cans.

No, actually I am trying to find recipes to make 'with' SPAM. Sorry if I was unclear about that.

Shredded spam - I prefer the low sodium
Shredded cheese.
Just enough miracle whip to make it a spread
Spread it on buns
Broil the buns till cheese is melted
Eat and enjoy the meat sweats

I did something similar to that Spam taco video the other day. Except with corn tortillas, they were great.

Or dice it up fine, brown it in a skillet and add it to instant yakisoba. Ooh that's a treat.

I chocked down enough of this stuff while in the Navy to spoil me for life.

Yup. I then put the slices on toasted wheat bread with yellow mustard (French's). Yum!

When used to eat it when I was younger, usually would make fried rice.

I wonder how it would be if diced, fried and then mixed in with ground beef to make hamburgers or meatloaf.

Or rendered in place of pancetta to make risotto or carbonara or cornmeal coated fried fish (a la Hemingway).

Not healthy.

Slice and fry low salt version.
Drizzle honey on Spam.
Let sit to resettle as glaze.
Place on bread with French's mustard.
Slice and enjoy.





Sometimes the old recipes with a twist are best. Ambrosia.

Even "Jack In The Box" has Spam and Portuguese Sausage fried rice as a menu item around here. Delicious.

and if you actually want to make your own SPAM... adjust salt levels and flavors to your own liking.

Grate SPAM. Pan-fry with diced onions. Allow to cool. Toss with mayonnaise and the mustard of your choice. Add shredded cheese. It's now deviled Spam. Add chopped hard-boiled egg and it's now deviled egg and Spam salad. Spread on sourdough toast. Enjoy.

Cube spam and stuff it in rigatoni noodles.

Layer noodles in casserole dish with cheese and pasta sauce alternating layers.

Bake

Enjoy.

A snippet from your interesting article Plasteek:
“…
People tend to believe that Spam is made from leftover pig parts and chock full of artificial additives, but it’s actually downright wholesome compared to other processed foods; its only ingredients are pork shoulder, ham, salt, sugar, and some sodium nitrite. Eating fast food is definitely much worse for you than Spam.

I fry two 3/8” slices of Hickory Smoke Spam quickly at high heat in an iron frying pan. Crispy outside, tender inside. Makes a great sandwich.

I think I’ll try that and add sliced avocado.
.

Dice up spam, potatoes, and either brussel sprouts or squash/zuccini. Coat well with olive oil and seasoning of your choice- we use Mrs Dash for this one. Place on baking sheet and Bake at 375 for about 30 min or until potatoes are tender.

You guys are fancy. I just slice it up, pan fry it, make some eggs over easy and eat on top of white rice. Get those runny eggs all over the rice and mix it up with the SPAM and that's good eating!

I will also cut SPAM into strips and cook in chicken broth with elbow macaroni, carrots, and peas. It's great for cold days.

I’m simply astounded that Mbinky has not posted in this thread.

A fresh bagel lightly toasted and buttered, fried egg (salt & pepper), fried SPAM and cheese sammich hits the spot!

Yep. My slices are about 1/8" thick, and I fry them in a cast iron skillet. Toast some wheat bread and make sandwiches with French's yellow mustard. One half-size can makes 3 sandwiches.

Thanks fellas… Now I have that money python tune stuck in my head all day.

My daughter and I usually take one multi-day backpack trip a year. Since we have to carry everything, we try to make our food packs really light.

There's nothing like a hot meal after a long day on the trail. Since they now sell SPAM individually sliced in foil pouches, its easy to make a RAMEN bomb. Just add hot water.

Everything tastes good on the trail, even SPAM.

I could never be that nostalgic. Bad memories and spam go together for me. Spam meant Dad was out of work. Fish sticks and oatmeal are next on the list.
