Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Spam (12 oz can)
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the Spam into 8 even slices (approximately ¼ inch thick).
Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the skillet is hot, lay the Spam slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove Spam and set aside.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Warm the butter in the same skillet or another clean skillet. Slice the burger buns in half and toast the cut sides in the melted butter until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted burger bun and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of each bun.
Assemble the burgers: Start with a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by 2 slices of cooked Spam, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a slice of tomato. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and ground black pepper on the tomatoes for seasoning.
Place the top bun on each burger.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides (e.g., fries, chips, or salad) and enjoy!
