"This is a recipe that I found in promotional cook booklet that different food companies put out. This one uses SPAM of all things. Since there were only 2 of us I cut the recipe in half, but goodness it still makes a lot. I think half would serve 4 or maybe even 6 with a salad and some dinner bread. I'm just listing the ingredients for 4 people. If you need to, it's very easy to double this recipe. As the recipe was written, it used low-fat ingredients, but I didn't have any. I cooked the veggies until they were almost fork tender. Prep time includes the cooking of veggies. This recipe is very easy on the pocketbook--with these ingredients it's only .57 cents a serving, depending on if you use store brand items or items on sale.When this recipe was on another site was back in 2007 that was the cost of each serving. Even though the prices on the items have went up considerably it might be a pretty good Budget Friendly Meal. Submitted to " ZAZZ " on August 29th.,2012"
