I'll open this with the recipe that seemed to go over quite well with many of you even though the name leaves something to be desired.

John, when I was a child (way back when), my girlfriends mom made a dish such as yours. They called it Mess.

Might as well put one of my favorites down here too. It's called Shrimp Florentine. Even folks who don't like spinach love this dish.

your dodge hash brings back great memories for me! My grandpa would make me "western breakfast" when I was a little girl, and it was mixture of scrambled eggs, ham, green peppers and pre cooked potatoes from the previous night's dinner. it was my absolute favorite and reminds me how much I miss him. I think I am going to have to make a batch of that for my family this weekend. thanks for sharing..and the memory!

Sorry John. Mea culpa, mea culpa.
