My Glazed Baked Spam recipe is one of those old family favorites we all love. It’s super easy with only three ingredients and 20 minutes cook time.
Spam is available in quite a few options including turkey and low sodium. I prefer low sodium.
Did you know that Spam is wildly popular in Hawaii? Yep.
I can’t remember the first time I ever ate Spam. It’s been on the menu occasionally for so long in my family. We really enjoy Spam in the summer when we seem to prepare easier meals.

Meal prep doesn’t get much easier than this Glazed Baked Spam recipe!
Just slice the spam into even pieces. We like them fairly thin but not too thin. I usually get about 10 slices per can.
Then arrange the slices in a baking dish and pour the glaze over them as shown. Don’t forget to spray your baking dish first for easier clean up.
Glazed Baked Spam really only needs to cook about 20 minutes uncovered. If you overcook, the Spam will be dry. I personally love those end pieces charred, they are my favorite. It’s like eating the crust from a pound cake, that’s my part!
You can have this meal on the table in under 30 minutes.
You may want to save this one for those busy days when eating out isn’t an option. Your family will enjoy this flavorful and stick-to-the-ribs Glazed Baked Spam meal.

I’ve been eating this since I was a kid, but I never really had a recipe. I’m thinking of trying it with some pineapple juice next time I make this.

I have used both pineapple juice and apple juice/cider and both are good !

I’ve spent 15 minutes reading and rereading trying to find the actual recipe for your recipe! There isn’t one! Why do you have a recipe with no list of ingredients, nor directions? Very frustrated.
Shirley Wood says
Hi Stephanie, Thank you for alerting me that the recipe had vanished from this post. I assure you it was here. Sometimes, without warning Updates to the back side of blogs will cause certain plug-ins to disappear and we won’t know it happened until we find out the hard way. I have added the recipe back into this post and appreciate you letting me know.
Hope you enjoy the recipe. It’s a family favorite at my house. I like how easy it is to prepare!

I haven’t had spam since I was little! Thanks for the dinner inspiration Shirley and the musubi idea Erlene. #merrymonday Shared on G+.
Erlene A says
How funny! Spam is a staple in Hawaii. Practically everyone eats Spam musubi there. Never had Spam with this type of glaze, but I’ll definitely have to try it.
Shirley Wood says
Yes, I read on the Spam site that the popularity of Spam in Hawaii is related to WWII, Pearl Harbor and Red Cross provisions. Stacy and I recently visited a war museum where one of the displays included a very old Spam container from Red Cross provisions. It’s been around a long time. I hope you’ll give this recipe a try. I’d be interested to know how your family likes it. The glaze is very similar to a ham glaze.
