Description
These Spamwiches are an irresistible, nostalgic treat that my family used to beg for whenever I was a kid. With their gooey Longhorn cheese and savory Spam filling, they’re a perfect comfort food that you can enjoy fresh out of the oven or even cold the next day. Ideal for a quick and satisfying meal, these sandwiches are as delicious as they are easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 can Spam (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 1 cup Longhorn cheese (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup Miracle Whip (or to taste)
- 8 sandwich buns (preferably soft)
Instructions

Prepare the Spam Mixture:
Begin by placing the bite-sized Spam cubes into a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped onion and cut-up Longhorn cheese. Next, generously add Miracle Whip to the bowl. Use a spatula or spoon to mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well-coated and combined. The Miracle Whip will add a creamy texture and tangy flavor, enhancing the overall taste of your filling. -
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Tear off 8 pieces of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap around an individual sandwich bun. Take one sandwich bun and spoon an equal amount of the Spam mixture onto the bun. Make sure to distribute the filling evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful. -
Wrap and Bake:
Carefully wrap each filled sandwich bun individually in the prepared aluminum foil. This step is crucial as it helps to trap the heat and allows the cheese to melt perfectly, creating that gooey, irresistible texture. -
Bake to Perfection:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack. Bake them for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey. The foil will keep the sandwiches moist while the heat ensures that the cheese melts beautifully. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, carefully unwrap the foil from each sandwich. Serve them hot for the best experience, but they are also delightful when enjoyed cold the next day.
