Zucchini and onion get a quick sauté before sliced SPAM, potatoes, and carrots join the skillet.
Canned tomatoes go over the top, along with basil, oregano, and garlic powder, then the whole thing simmers covered until the potatoes are fork-tender.
It’s the kind of straightforward, no-fuss meal that stretches a single can of SPAM into dinner for eight.
Kitchen Tips
- Cut the potatoes into thin, even slices so they cook through in the 25-minute simmer time.
- Don’t lift the lid too often. The trapped steam is what cooks the potatoes and keeps everything moist.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the herbs if you want a subtle warmth running through the dish.
