SPAM is a common item found in most food banks (see the entire list of common food bank items), so on Day 4 of the Hunger Challenge I decided to make SPAM Hash and Eggs - a great and hearty breakfast or "breakfast for dinner."
SPAM Hash and Eggs
Serves 2
Total cost: $2.00
1 can SPAM, diced (any flavor) - $1.00
1 small onion, sliced- $.15
2 large potatoes, diced - $.49
1 tablespoon canola oil for frying - $.04
2 eggs - $.32
Heat oil over medium high in a large skillet. Add diced potatoes and sauté until golden brown. Add diced onions and SPAM and continue to sauté until browned.
Serve with fried, soft boiled or poached eggs on top. Season to taste with pepper.
TIP: Store the cut remains of the onion in a plastic bag to use as flavoring in chicken stock!
