Joe's Special (Little Joe's)
When other life matters are more important than what I fix for supper, I like to have a few recipes in my card file that are quick to fix, nutritious, and with ingredients I can easily keep on hand. Joe's Special, a delicious dish from San Fransisco, fits that need beautifully.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 lb fresh spinach, blanched, drained, & chopped OR 1 16 oz bag frozen spinach, cooked and drained
- Salt to taste
- Tabasco to taste (optional)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- Parmesan or Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onion, and cook over medium heat until the onion is soft. Add mushrooms and cook until the mushroom turn soft.
- Add the beef, mixing with the veggies and breaking it up into small bits with a fork, cooking until the redness is gone. Drain any grease.
- Add the spinach and mix well. Stir and cook for about 3 minutes, then salt to taste.
- Mix a dash of Tabasco with the eggs, then pour over the beef mixture and stir until the eggs are set. Remove from heat and serve, sprinkling a bit of cheese on top of each serving.
