Cheesy Hobo Casserole

Cheesy Hobo Casserole


  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Diet: Traditional

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
  • 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is completely browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into the cooked beef to ensure the meat is well-seasoned.
  4. Arrange the sliced potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Place the sliced onions and carrots on top of the potato layer.
  6. Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the vegetables.
  7. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and the milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
  9. Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  10. Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, uncovered, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
