Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Hobo Casserole:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.
- Mix Soups and Milk: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Casserole: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread the cooked ground beef and onion mixture evenly on the bottom. Pour the soup mixture over the beef, spreading it evenly.
- Add Tater Tots: Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top of the soup mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
- Add Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- You can add vegetables like peas, carrots, or green beans to the beef mixture for added flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicy kick, try adding some diced jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce to the soup mixture.
