Ingredients
- 1 can (12 oz) Spam, sliced into 4 equal patties
- 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
- 4 slices of cheese (optional, e.g., cheddar or Swiss)
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of tomato
- 4 slices of onion (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place Spam patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking, cover the skillet, and let melt.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and sriracha (if using) to make a sauce.
- Toast the buns in the skillet or under a broiler until lightly golden.
- Spread the sauce on the bottom bun halves. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion (if using), and a Spam patty. Close with the top bun.
- Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, score the edges of the Spam patties with a knife before cooking.
- Leftover Spam burgers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet.
- Add a fried egg for a Hawaiian-style Spam and egg burger.
