Hobo Hash

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.

Hobo Hash

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.

Also try my Kentucky farmhouse scramble.

Sausage Mushroom Kale Hash

I was visiting a favorite local food truck of mine the other day. I love food trucks. This particular truck specializes in various hashes, something I hadn’t made or really not something I have often. Everything looked and tasted fantastic. I decided to make a copycat version of the spring hash, a sausage mushroom kale hash. My version is a little heavier on the sausage, but you can adjust it as you like. I also added a fried egg, but next time I’ll add a poached egg instead.

Sausage Mushroom Kale Hash

Easy. And Delicious.

This sausage mushroom kale hash is an easy dish to make, and it has great flavor to boot. I used hot Italian sausage for a little extra kick. You can make a breakfast version of this hash by substituting ground pork sausage. Sage sausage would be fantastic in it I think.

Also try my Hobo hash. Just as easy, just as great.
