My Granddaddy was a Spamaholic.

His method was simple:

1) Slice the Spam as thin as you can.
2) Pan fry it 'til it's completely black.
3) Smear it with French's Mustard.
4) Consume with great gusto.


(thanks for the flashback!)

I've made them, I just chop it into 1/4" cubes and mix them in.

They are pretty good, I first made them as a joke, everyone liked them until they found out the meat was SPAM.

I like to read to people the ingredients list off a can of SPAM and then potted meat.
