This Hobo Casserole with Ground Beef & Potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make comfort meal perfect for busy weeknights. Layers of savory ground beef, tender potatoes, and melted cheese make this one-pan dish a family favorite. Budget-friendly and flavorful!

Ingredients

For the Casserole:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup milk (optional)

For the Seasoning & Cheese:

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Thinly slice the potatoes to ¼-inch thickness.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add ground beef, season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned.
  3. Assemble the Casserole: Grease a baking dish and layer half of the potatoes. Spread half of the cooked beef on top. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers, then pour beef broth (and milk, if using) over the top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil, top with Parmesan cheese, and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy this comforting, cheesy dish!

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, add more cheese or a splash of heavy cream.
  • Thinly slice potatoes for even cooking.
  • Make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes.
