This can be served for brunch, dinner, or a midnight snack and should be served with sourdough toast and hot sauce. It is thought to originate in San Francisco but there are many different ideas as to who gets credit for it. This version is from Firehouse Food: Cooking with San Francisco's Firefighters

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2-3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2-4 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry or 8 ounces fresh spinach, stemmed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 pinch ground nutmeg
6 eggs, lightly beaten
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until it is evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a large bowl, draining and discarding the fat.
2
Return the pan to the heat and add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute until golden and translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the beef, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
3
Add the mushrooms to the pan, along with the remaining tablespoon of oil, if needed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
4
Return the beef and onion to the pan with the mushrooms. Add the spinach, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg. Cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the eggs. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are just set and soft-scrambled. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This was really yummy and easy and used up a lot of random ingredients I had in the house. I used 1 # ground turkey becuase that's what I had and it was plenty of meat for me and my husband. I will add a little more wrcestershire and maybe some garlic salt next time. Definitely serive with Tobasco, which made a huge difference in giving it flavor and a kick.

I found this a bit dry. Wasn't sure if I should serve noodles, rice or pototoes with the dinner meal. Had a savory slaw, fresh tomatoes and biscuits. Not sure I would make this again.

This was so delicious! I wanted more but there was none left because my Dad ate it all. It was easy to make too. I scrambled the eggs all by myself.

We loved this recipe! I had never heard of Joe's Special but what a fantastic idea! I used the food processor to mince the onions and garlic (to hide from 5 year old) and also ran the spinach through it to get it into small pieces that couldn't be picked over. The top was not on my Worcestershire so I do believe there was more then 1/2 a teaspoon left in the pan even after trying to sop it up with paper towels. DH2B is the first one to scream when I add Worcestershire to anything... and DH2B was also the one who polished off all that was left in pan - it was that good I made the full 6 servings hoping to have left overs, but there was nothing left. It was the perfect amount for a family of 2 1/2 (for dinner), so if you are making this for a larger family, you may want to double the recipe. Thanks Cookiedog!!!
