Lol “eggs in a hole.” My grandpa used to make those all the time.
Yeah, man, that takes me back. I grew up “struggling white people poor” when I was young, but my parents grew up legit poor - like 10 kids Oklahoma dirt farmer poor, a level of getting by and making a life I only understand in theory. So they had all the life skills to get us through.
My mom understood basic nutrition/70s food pyramid shit and did what she could to keep us healthy. Lots of veggies from the community garden, whatever meat was on sale, stew and salad was common (which was always better than liver and onions). When left to his own devices, my dad would pull out all the stops and go full redneck:
- boil or nuke a hotdog until the ends burst (this was mandatory for reasons I still don’t understand)
- fry an egg flat
- cover a piece of whitebread with yellow mustard
- roll the egg around the hotdog, place in bread
- 2x is lunch, enjoy!
I still make it from time to time for the nostalgia kick and it’s not terrible. But between eggs and hotdogs it’s not $0.25 anymore lol

I get you broski…
My “dad” doesn’t have a job, and the way I see it he’s just leeching off of my dear mother, so we’ve been through some shit like that. (Renting, debt everywhere… Not fun!) Lucky, my mum’s got a good stable job now… Eggs in a hole was somewhat common, but you wanna know what was (and still is) the real shit? Cracking eggs into a microwave container with baked beans and cooking them in the microwave… Beany eggs…
Sometimes when I’m alone I cook plain mince and rice, bit of soy sauce sometimes. I dunno man, sometimes basic food hits different.
That was passed down to you? I just summon mine from thin air like a fucking sorcerer. 
Eggs are so incredibly versatile with meals that it’s almost magical. I can probably think of like 50 totally different (usually-cheap) meals off the top of my head that I make with eggs on a regular basis.
I haven’t heard of eggs with beans, but somehow eggs and a can of sardines are amazing when fried together, too. Hell, even eggs and broccoli (if you don’t go too heavy on it) is another one.
Where’s that cooking thread when you need it?

I thought there used to be a food thread. Maybe in the old forum…
