Spamaroni and Cheese Recipe

Cook Time: 25 minutes

This delicious twist on classic macaroni and cheese is made even more satisfying with the addition of cubed luncheon meat. Its the perfect comfort food for any occasion. Follow these simple steps for a creamy, cheesy, and hearty dish everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray (such as Pam)
  • 1 (14 ounce) package deluxe macaroni and cheese dinner mix (such as Kraft)
  • 1 (12 ounce) can luncheon meat (such as Spam), cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • cup milk
  • cup Italian-style bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, approximately 10 minutes. Drain well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained macaroni, cheese packet from the dinner mix, cubed luncheon meat, and milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle Italian-style bread crumbs over the top for a crunchy finish.
  5. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the dish is bubbly and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty, creamy macaroni and cheese with a savory twist!

A good meal easy to prepare for busy nights and to please mac and cheese lovers. My kids enjoyed it very much. They love Kraft's mac and cheese. I cut the amount of bread crumbs almost in half as, in my opinion, the amount was excessive. I only used half of the spam meat that is suggested in the recipe.

We eat Spam alot and knew this would be a winner with our kids. We used the Kraft Deluxe dinner , two boxes, and one whole can of Spam 25% less sodium. I did sautee the Spam cubes first as my family loves it cooked and it gave it a bit more depth of flavor. This was quick, easy and my teens were cheering! Paired with a green salad, you have a great go to meal.

This was an easy and an "if you're ever in a pinch" go to casserole...I just tweaked it a bit by browning the Spam (low sodium) first then adding Italian seasoning and almost an entire can (14.5 oz.) of petite diced Italian tomatoes. I only had plain bread crumbs on hand, but with adding the seasoning in another way, it worked out. It was quick and good. Another thumbs up from my hubby so , I'll keep this one too! Thanks!

I doubled the recipe for leftovers. I definitely recommend still using only one can of the spam. Otherwise, it's perfect. Even my picky son ate it.

I made this recipe but tweaked it a little. I used a small box of elbows Macaronis. I added a little more milk into it as well. The spam I cooked it a little in a pan. I added cheese into it as well. The family loved it. The reason why I gave it a four stars is because I’m not a spam person. Besides that hubby and son loved it. All in All I would make it for them again if they asked. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.

We weren't sure what to do with our leftover spam but this recipe jumped out at me just in time. I added a pit of pepper on a whim and it was loved by all. The whole fam and the dogs enjoyed this dish!!!!

This recipe was so cheap and easy. I doubled the recipe for my family of 5. It was a huge hit with everyone. Even my 16 month old loved it. My kids keep asking when I'm going to make it again. Thank you for this recipe.
