Looking for an easy backpacking meal? Spam is a delicious and calorie dense food that is perfect for the trail or camping. Today’s recipe uses Spam and adds fresh veggies and lentils to create the perfect easy backpacking meal on the go.

Ingredients and Tools Used

To prepare spam and lentils I will be using my Jetboil Flash. The Jetboil Flash is typically used to boil water, but you can cook with it as well. I always bring my Jetboil skillet (which has a little spatula that tucks into the pan handle) and the Jetboil pan support so I can cook a meal easily.

Here are the ingredients you will need to cook spam & lentils:

• One can of lentils
• One can of Spam (lite, low sodium, or regular, the choice is yours!)
• 1 bell pepper, any color
• 1/4 of a white onion
• One small tomato
• Butter
• Garlic cloves

How to Cook Spam and Lentils

Set up your stove or fire (I am using the Jetboil Flash). Chop up your veggies and Spam ( I use half a can of Spam for this recipe). Next, heat up the butter and the garlic in the skillet. Then, sauté the veggies until they are soft. Remove the veggies and garlic from the skillet (I like to put them on the plate I am going to use to eat). Now, fry up your Spam in the skillet. You can add a little butter if you like, but there is sufficient fat in the Spam to keep the pan lubricated. Once the spam is cooked through remove it from the fire. Cut it into pieces. Then, add the veggies and cut up Spam to the skillet to reheat. Add the can of lentils (the entire can will fit, but add less if you like). Heat through and that is it! Time to eat.

Ingredients

• Can of corned beef hash
• 3 eggs
• White onion
• Bell pepper of any color
• Mushrooms
• Butter
• Fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary

Tools Used

• Jetboil Flash
• Jetboil Skillet
• Jetboil Fuel
• Jetboil Pot Support (VERY IMPORTANT IF USING THE SKILLET)

Preparing Corned Beef Hash and Eggs Using Jetboil

It couldn’t be easier to prepare this meal. First, set up your Jetboil Flash. Make sure you use the Jetboil pot support when using a skillet or pan with your Jetboil. Next, chop up the veggies and open the can of corned beef hash. Add butter to the skillet and set the skillet on top of the pot support. Turn on the Jetboil Flash. Let the butter melt and then add the chopped veggies. Cook veggies until soft. Remove veggies from skillet and put aside. Next, add the corned beef hash to the skillet and cook through. You can use the entire can or however much you wish. Using the entire can will feed at least 2 people.

Once the corned beef hash is cooked to your liking, add the veggies back to the skillet and mix together. Add the fresh herbs towards the end. Remove the corned beef hash mix from the skillet and set aside. Now, add a bit more butter and fry up the eggs. I like mine over medium, but you can cook yours to your taste. Once the eggs are done, put them on top of the corned beef hash and veggie mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Time to eat!
