ABC13 anchors 'Spam-Off'!

HOUSTON Don's Spam recipe (From ABC13 producer's grandmother):

Spam and Banana Sandwich Ingredients:

  • 1 Can of Spam
  • 2 Bananas
  • 8 Slices of White Bread
  • Mayonnaise
  • Pepper

Instructions:

  1. Take your Spam out of the can, wipe clean of the gelatinous fat, and then slice thin, making enough cuts for 4 sandwiches.
  2. Open your bananas. Cut each in half, and then make lengthwise slices, making them look almost like pickles.
  3. Lightly toast your bread.
  4. Assemble your sandwich by first putting mayonnaise on both inside slices of bread. Sprinkle a tiny bit of black pepper on top of the mayonnaise, then add your Spam and banana slices. Close sandwich and enjoy.

Alternatives:

If you want a hot sandwich, you can grill the Spam with a little salt and pepper until hot and it has a light crust. Then caramelize the bananas by putting a little sugar on them and putting them under the broiler for a couple minutes each side (until golden brown). Assemble the sandwich just like above.
