Spam - do you like it?

Spam was a staple in our house when I was growing up. My favorite way is straight out of the can on a sandwich with butter. I also love it fried. If you cut it up, fry it with some cut up potatoes and add a salad, you have a good meal. We also use to add diced spam to scalloped potatoes or augratin potatoes. I do not eat it often now, but there are times when I just have to have SPAM!

I absolutely love spam! I grew up on it. My fondest memories of spam is when we used to go camping and I would wake up to my mom cooking scrambled eggs and then she would fry the spam right after the eggs int he skillet. That tasted so good! I have had spam in fried rice, I have had spam sushi and I love spam sandwiches. Just miracle whip and spam. I know that sounds awful but hot off of the pan is great with melted cheese.

Once my friends and I did a Spam version of Iron Chef....there were some crazy recipes that night! I made "Spam in a blanket". I cut the Spam into sticks and fried it. Then I rolled it up in store bought crecent rolls and baked. It was a fairly plain and easy recipe, bbut I thoguht they were pretty good. Here is a recipe I found online for a cassarole. It includes potato chips...so I found it pretty interesting :-) SPAM HASHBROWN BAKE Categories: Main dish Yield: 8 Servings 1.00 pk Frozen hashbrown potatoes, -thawed slightly (32 oz) 0.50 c Butter or margarine, melted 1.00 t Salt 1.00 t Pepper 0.50 t Garlic powder 2.00 c Shredded Cheddar cheese 1.00 cn SPAM Luncheon Meat, cubed -(12 oz) 1.00 cn Cream of chicken soup -(10 3/4 oz) 1.50 c Sour cream 0.50 c Milk 0.50 c Chopped onion 0.25 c CHI-CHI's Diced Green -Chilies, drained 2.00 c Crushed potato chips Heat oven to 350'F.
