Made half of this recipe (it makes quite a lot) for DH's dad and his friend for lunch. His dad saw this recipe with Spam that I had laying on the sink and said "that sounds good...I haven't had Spam for a long time". Perfect, I made it and stole a bite before taking it over to him. I did sprinkle some garlic salt over the spinach (I used fresh and zapped it in the micro for a few minutes) and added some grated cheese on top with paprika sprinkled on top of that. Tasted pretty good (anyway the bite I stole.) Definately will try this again just for DH and I. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.
