Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, etc.)
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and ground beef, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the mixed vegetables, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom. Spread the beef and vegetable mixture over the potatoes, then top with the remaining potatoes.
Pour the cream of mushroom soup over the top and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Hobo Casserole with a side salad or crusty bread.
