How to Make Hobo

  1. Brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the onions are tender and the mushrooms are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the sausage, onion, and mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet.
  5. When the oil is hot, add 2 cups of frozen shredded hash browns and press them evenly into the skillet using a spatula.
  6. Cook over medium-high heat until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy on one side, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Gently flip the hash browns and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Pour the lightly beaten eggs over the hash browns.
  9. Add the sausage mixture to the skillet and gently scramble everything together until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  11. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
