Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

How to Cook Hearty Hobo Casserole with Ground Beef:

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Layer the Casserole: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the green beans. Repeat with remaining potatoes, beef, and green beans.
4. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
5. Add Cheese: Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
7. Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
