How to Make Spam A La King

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and sauté until tender-crisp (about 5 minutes).
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water, 1 cup of half-and-half, and 1 beef bouillon cube, stirring constantly until smooth.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Add 1 (12 ounce) can of Spam, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms.
  6. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the Spam is heated through and the mushrooms are tender.
  7. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice or toast. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
