Grilled Cheese with SPAM

This is the recipe from the side of the can and also on the Spam web site. It makes a change from plain grilled cheese sandwiches, and is easy to do. I think that pan frying the Spam slices before grilling the sandwiches helps the cheese melt and the crispier meat makes a better sandwich. Again, be aware that Spam is a high Sodium product and should not be over used in your daily diet. That said, enjoy.

1. Cut SPAM® Classic into 8 slices.
