Now that's a very interesting recipe. I happen to like Spam a lot but my wife doesn't. I may have to bake this and serve it to my wife under an assumed name. Perhaps call it Ham 'n Yams.

Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This would work equally as well with canned ham.

We're having ham for Christmas dinner, and if we have any leftover, we'll make this using a stack of ham slices.
