This is a meal in itself. A family favorite, even Micah likes to eat it. If you don't have onions, just use some onion powder when you put in the rice.
1 can Spam (small or large, depending how much meat-to-rice ratio you want)
2-4 cups white rice (I prefer Minute rice)
2-4 cups water (or however much for the amount of rice used, check package instructions)
1 medium onion (or onion powder)
Salt and Pepper to taste
(or use Tabasco or Sriracha hot sauce like my parents,or even drench in Zesty italian dressing like Rebecca)
Cut Spam into about 1/2 inch cubes. Brown spam on Medium-high heat in a skillet that has a lid. Dice onion, and add it when Spam is browned, cook until onions are opaque. Add rice and brown it slightly while dry (this is where i would add onion powder, about a teaspoon)--about 2 minutes.
If using Minute rice, add the water (i like it to be hot so I don't have to wait long for it to boil), bring to a boil, cover and take it off the heat and time for about 5 minutes, then fluff it.
If using regular rice, follow similar instructions to brown the rice, then add the amount of water needed and simmer in the skillet with the lid on, until the water has been absorbed.
Lastly, add salt and pepper to taste. Spam is a relatively salty meat, so not much will need to be added.
Can be served as a side (like ham-fried rice) or as main course with a fresh green salad on the side.
The ingredients are easy to store and relatively inexpensive, making this a great "food storage" meal.
