California Farm Made Spam & Potato Hash Dinner
Lots of nourishment on a budget. Spam is made from pork , bacon and potato starch, but we make it with buckwheat instead of potato starch. I adapted this meal from leftover farm ingredients to store bought ingredients to make spam. It came out at half the cost of other dinners. You can make spam meat for 16 cents per serving in this recipe, and it is delicious. A full dinner for 70 cents. Spam Freezes well.
