Joe's Special

Directions

1. 1
   Break open the eggs into a small bowl; add in the Tabasco, salt, basil, and pepper; whisk to combine (you should still see large bubbles); set aside.
2. 2
   Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts.
3. 3
   Add in the onion; stir/saute for 4 minutes or until soft but not beginning to brown.
4. 4
   Add in the ground beef; continue cooking until meat is browned, breaking meat into small pieces as it cooks.
5. 5
   Cover with the spinach, place the lid over the mixture, and cook for about 3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts (if using thawed frozen spinach, cook, covered, for 1 minute).
6. 6
   Stir the spinach into the meat, cooking briefly to eliminate excess liquid if the mixture seems watery.
7. 7
   Pour the egg mixture over all; stirring with a spatula from the bottom until the eggs begin to set.
8. 8
   Remove from heat and stir a few more times; serve immediately.
