10. Hawaiian SPAM Tacos
These Hawaiian SPAM tacos have the same salty, savory flavors as regular tacos, but they’re a lot more fun.
They’re also healthier than regular tacos because you can use no-salt seasoning instead of taco seasoning.

This unusual dish is similar to the one above, except in this version, Spam is added to the mix.
You’ll need a cast-iron skillet for this one.

Just be sure to use frozen Spam (or other types of meat) in the skillet instead of bacon or sausage, as they cook faster.
13. Spam Puffs
These Spam puffs are a traditional breakfast treat that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
Spam is already loaded with protein, but it doesn’t have enough flavor.
That’s where the addition of cheese comes in!

Now, I’ve turned into a vegetarian and can say that this recipe is one of the BEST!
Spam and potatoes make an incredibly hearty dish that will fill you right up.
It’s so easy to make, it’s like cheating.
Just leave out the eggs and cheese, add in some veggies, and throw everything in a casserole dish.
