Grilled Cheese with Spam

This recipe is on 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.
Sue and my daughter, Amy say that Aldi's has this version of Spam and both of them like it better than Spam itself. Sue has and does freeze Spam. Slice and just cook what you want and lay the other slices out and freeze. That way when you are cooking for only one or two you don't have to keep eating it until it is gone.
