I have recently discovered the glory that is Spam. People say if you’re not introduced to it as a kid, you will hate it as an adult. LIES! I tried it at 28 and am in love. So versatile, and the way it just melts in your mouth like some sort of creamy meatcake is out of this world. Here is a burger recipe I came up with, and I like it more than a regular burger. I used Turkey Spam, which is just as good as the original and has 1/3 of the fat and calories. Regular Spam or Light Spam would work well too, I’m sure.
