Try using canned cooked potatoes- Slice , fry and serve with diced bacon bits, egg and maybe add some extra veg - frozen veg is excellent addition like peppers or onions to make it a pan haggerty dish.
You can make large pans of this and you could also make into a casserole dish quite easily - add the eggs when serving up.
Bean and sausage casserole. Plenty of cheap options to create that and get a really nice flavour too as well as being nutritious.
What about a corn beef hash? Or proper stovies?
How are you with pies? Make up a 'breakfast pie' - one of the local bakers here in Edinburgh does this and it has a little bit of everything in it - cut up cooked sausage, bacon, tomato, macaroni, all in a very tasty cheese sauce and topped with baked beans.
Use hot water crust pastry for this so the contents don't 'wet' the case. Easy to eat too and can be taken on to the lunch as well if you over bake a quantity- serve with potato and a veg/beans.
A big old tortilla looks nice to - loads of veg, potato, diced sausage/bacon makes it breskfasty and serve in chunky
wedges.
One breakfast option is cook some toast, place on baking sheet, top with sliced mushrooms, tomato, grated cheese and diced cooked bacon. Cook in hot oven til cheese bubbles.
A breakfast type casserole - cook some stale bread to make croutons/toasty bits and crumble into an oven dish and top with a little oil (or cooking spray is better.) and top this with grated cheese. Add a mix of milk beaten eggs and a little mustard. Cook some bacon, crumble this over the top and bake in hot oven for 30 mins to set the custard. Stand to cool before serving or this will be too runny...add chopped cooked sausage - link or slice - and a few mushrooms aren't a bad option either.
Hope this of use..
