Ingredients

• 1 can Spam (12 oz can)
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the Spam into 8 even slices (approximately ¼ inch thick).

Step 2

Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 3

Once the skillet is hot, lay the Spam slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove Spam and set aside.

Step 4

Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 5

Warm the butter in the same skillet or another clean skillet. Slice the burger buns in half and toast the cut sides in the melted butter until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted burger bun and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of each bun.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Start with a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by 2 slices of cooked Spam, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a slice of tomato. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and ground black pepper on the tomatoes for seasoning.

Step 8

Place the top bun on each burger.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides (e.g., fries, chips, or salad) and enjoy!
