Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Cook the Ground Beef
- Heat oil in a pan. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Break it apart and drain extra fat.

Add Sauce

Repeat Layers
- Repeat layering potatoes, onions, beef and sauce until all ingredients are used.
Cover and Bake

Add Cheese on Top
- Remove foil and sprinkle cheddar cheese. Bake again for 10–15 minutes until melted and golden.
Rest and Serve
- Let casserole rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your Hearty Easy Hobo Casserole recipe.
Notes
- Use ground turkey instead of beef for lighter option
- Add carrots or peas for more vegetables
- Use cream of chicken soup for different flavor
- Slice potatoes very thin for even cooking
- Add garlic powder for extra taste
- Use mozzarella cheese for a mild flavor
- Do not skip resting time after baking
