Ingredients
- 8 oz elbow macaroni
- 12 oz Spam (original or flavor of choice)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium bell pepper (any color)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, dice the Spam into small cubes, finely chop the onion, and dice the bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Spam cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove the Spam from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 6
Stir in the cooked macaroni, frozen peas, and the cooked Spam. Toss everything together over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture and season with black pepper. Taste and adjust salt as necessary.
Step 8
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2 minutes.
Step 9
Serve hot as a comforting main dish or as a hearty side. Enjoy!
