Step 1: Cooking the Sausages and Bacon

In a frying pan over medium heat, fry the sausages and bacon until cooked through and crispy. Transfer them to a plate and keep warm.

In the same pan, fry the sliced tomatoes and mushrooms. The mushrooms should be golden and the tomatoes tender and slightly browned. Transfer them to the plate with the meat.

In the remaining fat in the pan, cook the eggs to your liking (e.g., sunny side up or scrambled). In a small saucepan, heat the canned baked beans. Toast the bread and butter it.
