Description
A comforting and hearty Ground Beef Hobo Casserole featuring layers of seasoned ground beef, tender potatoes, and melted cheese. This easy one-dish meal is perfect for a family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4–5 medium Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (1/8–1/4 inch thick)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet with the ground beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Season the beef and onion mixture with salt and pepper.
- In a 9×13-inch casserole dish, create the first layer by arranging half of the thinly sliced potatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned ground beef and onion mixture evenly over the potato layer.
- Arrange the remaining sliced potatoes over the beef layer. Season lightly again with salt and pepper.
- Pour the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the top layer of potatoes.
- Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
- Let the Ground Beef Hobo Casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For thinner potato slices, use a mandoline.
- If you prefer a less greasy casserole, use lean ground beef.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or corn to the beef mixture.
- Other cheeses like Monterey Jack or a blend can be used instead of cheddar.
