Chef Derrell Smith Upgrades Tailgating Recipes With This Versatile Ingredient

Anyone who has watched Mad Good Food appreciates that Chef Smith often thinks outside of the box. When asked about using SPAM^®, he responded quite candidly. "I am a huge fan of the SPAM^® brand. I think it's a very versatile ingredient that I like to experiment with in fun and interesting ways."

Although many people have used SPAM^® in hash, Chef Smith wants people to think beyond the traditional. For example, he said, "It can be candied and sprinkled on ice cream, or mixed with chopped olives and cheese and used as a filling for empanadas."
