A cozy, budget-friendly dinner made with ground beef, potatoes, and creamy mushroom soup—this easy hobo casserole is comfort food at its best!

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

3 cups potatoes, thinly sliced

1 small onion, sliced

1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease and season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the Casserole: In a greased baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes, cooked ground beef, and onion. Spread cream of mushroom soup evenly on top.

Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes.

Add Cheese & Finish Baking: Remove foil, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and cheese is melted.

Serve: Let rest for a few minutes and enjoy warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs to the beef.

You can swap the cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken or celery for variety.

Use a mandoline for evenly sliced potatoes and faster prep.
