Fried cabbage and SPAM

[Kaleva]

Made this last night for dinner and I ate the whole thing as I liked it. it was my only meal of the day so I didn't feel guilty about eating all of it and I'm the only one here at home. If you prefer, you can substitute the SPAM for 3 slices of bacon cut up into pieces.

Ingredients

1/3 cup of vegetable oil
1/3 can of SPAM diced (or 3 slices of bacon cut into pieces)
1 head of cabbage cored and chopped
1 medium onion chopped (optional)
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of pepper
1 pinch of sugar

Directions

Place the oil, salt, pepper and SPAM in a appropriate sized stock pot
Cook at medium high heat for about 3 minutes while occasionally stirring so meat doesn't burn
Add chopped cabbage, onion and sugar
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, or until cabbage is tender

1. what , not email. in hawaii spam is king and cheep.

a friend of mine uses bacon spam and bacon wraped around it for his sudo sushi.

2. Spam to me is expensive. I actually use Armor Treet luncheon loaf

And I buy it using Saturday coupons so a 12 oz can comes out to $1.32

3. I make something similar - Bubble and Squeak (add mashed potatoes)

No mustard, although I might just try adding it. It's kind of a recipe for getting rid of leftovers, although I like to make it from scratch. The cooked veg and meat gets mixed into the mashed potatoes. I then like to form that into patties and fry them.

7. Never heard of that so I looked it up and printed out a recipe

Looks good and I'll try it out soon!

4. Instead of spam

(which I love, BTW, right out of the can!)

I have used canned corned beef. Really good. Just add a couple of dashes of apple cider vinegar when serving.

I'll have to try it with spam!

8. I added corned beef to my recipe as an alternative.

5. That sounds good. My kids act horrified because I like Spam, but

I've found it in their pantries when I visit.

6. I buy a can of spam about once every ten to fifteen years.

I open the can, make a sandwich, and remember why I haven't bought it in 10 years.

I like pork, but not spam.

9. Fried slices of Spam was a mainstay when I was a child.

11. They have single serving packages of it now - less cost and no waste! n/t

10. Yum. I also make something similar but I use 1/2 can of the Danish canned ham. I also

a tablespoon of mild Vietnamese curry powder. Makes for a great meal. Will definitely try adding the leftover potatoes.

12. There is a Spam shortage now!

Has been GONE from my local Giant’s shelves for weeks now. I read it’s due to people hoarding and staffing issues at Hormel due to Covid. This recipe sounds great once I can find it. Or just fried Spam slices as part of weekend brunch.

13. I've noticed the shelf at the local Dollar General has been empty for two weeks now.
