Instructions
Crafting Hobo Casserole (Ground Beef Recipe) is straightforward when following these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces.
3. Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the tomato soup, mixed vegetables, uncooked pasta, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. This allows the pasta to cook through.
7. Add Cheese: Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color.
9. Serve: Scooping it into bowls is a great way to enjoy this hearty dish!
