I love a great hobo hash for dinner. You can pretty much just grab whatever’s in your fridge and pantry at the time. Then toss it into a skillet. Eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, cheese. Anything and everything. There aren’t really any rules about what you can put in a hash. Just as long as it’s all good. I grab whatever suits my fancy at the moment. Sometimes I want it spicy so I might grab peppers or hot cheese or even hot sauce. And sometime I don’t.

Diner Memories On A Plate
I recall breakfasts like this hobo hash from when I was a kid, at a diner in the town where my grandfather lived. The cook there would throw everything onto a flat top and in just seconds you had a hot breakfast on your plate. It was cheap and it was good, but I think I probably skipped the mushrooms as a kid.
I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
