From your kitchen

a big pan with a lid, a little oil or butter, a spatula, eggs, if you have them; the box does not need them.

What to do

1. Spam diced small, fried in the pan until the edges crisp. Out onto a plate.
2. Hash browns in the same pan the way the box says - water, lid, then uncovered until they brown. Stir in the green chiles near the end.
3. Spam back in. Salsa over the top. If there are eggs in the house, crack two on top for the last 3 minutes with the lid on. If not, it is still a skillet.
