• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves

• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Open the can of Spam and slice it into 8 thin pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder until the sugar dissolves. Brush the mixture onto both sides of each Spam slice.

Step 5

Slice the Hawaiian sweet buns in half horizontally and spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter onto the inside surfaces of each bun. Toast the buns in the skillet until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise onto the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Step 7

Layer each sandwich with one lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, 2 pieces of cooked Spam, and a grilled pineapple ring. Top with the other half of the bun.
