Hobo Casserole Recipe
This hearty and comforting hobo casserole combines ground beef, potatoes, and cheese into a delicious one-dish meal, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4-5 medium Potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 0.5 cup Beef broth or water
- 0.25 cup Milk, optional
- Fresh parsley, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the thinly sliced potatoes on top, seasoning them with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese over the beef. Pour the beef broth or water around the edges of the casserole.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving to settle the layers.
- You can substitute different cheeses or add vegetables as desired.
