Do you cook the SPAM before adding it to the MAC or the taters?... It is a great fry with onion, green peepers, and muchrooms. I suppose adding hashbrowns to the mix would be great ... gonna have to try that!

Ther is a batchelors casserole which uses ground round that would be an interesting change with SPAM. Layers of meat, green peepers, tater tots, onion, and mushroom soup, sprinkled with cheddar is the casserole. I hadn't thought of using SPAM on the bottom instead of ground round ...

In days gone by, Spam and Mac was a standard backpacking menu item. Recently it was added to our “easy and clean” one pot camping menus. (purists won’t pack Spam, but it is ok by me)

The Kraft Shells and Cheese are considered by me to be better than the old stand by in the blue box. To make it one pot, the uncooked spam is added to the cooked Shells and Cheese and gently heated .

There is a new Spam with less salt that is very good. There is also Turkey Spam that is also good in the same mix. We were on the road for two months last year and this was good and easy after a 400 mile day
