8 slices bread1 (15 ounce) can baked beans with pork1 (12 ounce) container fully cooked luncheon meat (e.g. Spam™)8 slices American cheese3 tablespoons ketchup3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

Instructions

Assemble and Broil Toasts

Start by setting your oven's broiler and adjusting the rack so it's about 6 inches from the heat. Lay the bread slices out on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of baked beans with pork on each piece, then top each with a slice of luncheon meat—cut it into 8 slices so everyone gets one. Next, add a slice of cheese on top, and finish with a little ketchup and mustard. Pop the tray under the broiler and watch closely until the bread edges are nicely toasted and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
