Introduction

My Uncle made a version of this with Spam while we stayed with him in California on vacation, so I tried to replicate it at home. It's actually better with Spam! I'll do that next time, but this was pretty good and the kids gobbled this up as well!

    I used to make something similar and loved it. Haven't made it in a long time but think I will tonight. Thanks for the reminder of an old favorite. - 10/14/09
