Savory Hobo Casserole with Ground Beef and Potatoes made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes sliced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth. Mix until the potatoes and vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Add the cooked beef and onion mixture to the bowl with the potatoes and mix until well incorporated.
  • Transfer the entire mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
