I love a great hobo hash for dinner. You can pretty much just grab whatever’s in your fridge and pantry at the time and toss it into a skillet. Eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, cheese. Anything and everything.
I recall breakfasts like this 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.
Also try my Kentucky farmhouse scramble.
