Or:

1 can Spam  
1 pkg cream cheese  
2 tbl Worc. sauce  
1 tbl ketchup  
1 tsp lemon juice  
cayenne pepper to taste

My grandmother apparently got this from a WWII recipe book, and it’s been a staple in my family ever since.

I don’t recall original SPAM being spiced. I understood that the acronym was for **S** houlder **P** ork and h **AM** …no spice.

My mom would sometimes make sandwiches with Underwood’s Deviled Ham and Deviled Chicken!
