Hobo Casserole Recipe

Guys we are making one of my husband’s favorite dishes and that is called a hobo casserole.
I am dicing up one small to medium yellow onion and I’m putting it right in my frying pan
and we are going to cook it up. You know saute our onions.

Why You’ll Love This

I haven’t made this in a long time and when I told my husband that this was what I was making
he said oh my goodness he can’t hardly wait.

What I like about a casserole is you can get it all made up about the same time
get it in the oven and clean up your kitchen so all you have is just the casserole dish
and maybe some really good bread or side salad or something like that and your meals are already
prepped and your kitchen should be cleaned in between while it’s baking.

Oh my goodness this is going to make my husband so happy.

You have a lot of working hard working men in your family. This is the dish for them. If you’re looking for other hearty ground beef dishes, try this easy homemade hamburger helper recipe.

Oh my goodness. Look at that. That is beautiful. It is popping hot, it is cheesy,
the potatoes. See how I like the chunky potatoes. It’s almost like a stew in the casserole.
And perfect.

Guys this will be one of your favorite dishes. I’m not joking. It is so delicious.

Cooking Tips

I like to always break mine up but I always wash my hands before I do anything else. Anytime you deal with raw meat you really need to wash your hands.

I’m going to try to do it thinly.

I’m going to make them into little pours. I like them that size for this casserole. We don’t want them too big we don’t want them diced but we want them I want them kind of like that. We want to be able to get a chunk of potatoes. It’s the way I like them.

I love a casserole you know it’s a little time consuming at first but you know when you first start
in a casserole it can be time consuming depending on if you have to cook the meat or not and this isn’t
a dumping go. But what I like about a casserole is you can get it all made up about the same time
get it in the oven and clean up your kitchen so all you have is just the casserole dish
and maybe some really good bread or side salad or something like that and your meals are already
prepped and your kitchen should be cleaned in between while it’s baking. Now does it always turn out that way? No but for the most part it can. For truly quick weeknight dinners, consider a quick garlic butter steak bites recipe.

You could put in minced if you want to but I just find that the garlic powder just
really gives it a little bit more flavor of time.

I just take a paper towel and wipe them off.

I’m going to take the stems off and I’m going to use them for something else. I’m going to use them for stock. I’m just going to put them in a little freezer bag for my stock.

You can leave out those mushrooms if you like but I’m putting them in because my husband
doors mushrooms.

I don’t want to put them frozen. I don’t want to put these in frozen in my casserole.

We want everything to be kind of the same you know the same structure formality and the in the casserole.

You can do these any other way. I just find that I like the chunk of potato a lot better.

I like it like that because I don’t want the potatoes to disintegrate. I want them to be a
hearty meal.

1 small to medium yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ pounds ground hamburger (ground beef)
6 small russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunky pieces
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
8 ounces plain white button mushrooms, wiped clean and diced
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
½ cup milk
12 ounces frozen peas and carrots
½ cup beef broth
1 ½ – 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a 9×13 inch casserole dish and put it in the oven while it preheats to melt.
In a large frying pan, cook the diced yellow onion until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove onions from pan and set aside.
Add the ground hamburger to the same frying pan. Break it up with a spoon and cook until fully browned.
Drain any excess grease from the cooked hamburger.
Return the cooked onions to the pan with the hamburger. Season with 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon thyme. Stir well to combine.
Wipe the button mushrooms clean, remove stems, and dice them. Add the diced mushrooms to the frying pan with the seasoned hamburger and onions. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until mushrooms have softened.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, microwave the frozen peas and carrots for four minutes (or steam according to package directions) to ensure they are heated through and not frozen.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the can of cream of mushroom soup, ½ cup milk, and ½ cup beef broth until smooth.
Remove the casserole dish with melted butter from the oven.
Pour the cooked ground beef, onion, and mushroom mixture evenly into the buttered casserole dish.
Arrange the chunky cut potatoes over the meat mixture.
Spread the steamed peas and carrots evenly over the potatoes.
Pour the cream of mushroom soup mixture over the entire casserole, ensuring it covers all ingredients.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven and top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
Let the casserole set and cool for 10-15 minutes before serving for easier slicing and to allow the flavors to meld.
