Spam & French Fries Meatloaf

Delicious but unusual meatloaf developed by me in my own kitchen. The majority of my friends and family love it, but there are a few haters, so be warned that this is not a meal for unadventurous eaters.

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 4-5
• Yields: 1 meatloaf

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs  finely diced  Spam
• 1⁄2 cup  cooked chopped French fries
• 1  egg
• 1  small sweet onion
• 1  teaspoon table salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4  tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 1⁄2 cup half-and-half

Directions

1. Don't put the Spam in a blender or a food processor. We don't want paste. Use leftover fries or leftover hashbrowns. Do not use mashed potatoes as they impart a mushy texture.
2. Fry the Spam until it is dry and slightly crunchy, draining oil as necessary.
3. Combine all ingredients and pat into a 9-inch aluminum pie pan.
4. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour until done.
5. Sprinkling this with your favorite cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking is a pleasant addition.
