This ground beef and veggie hobo casserole is a hearty, family-friendly dish that combines savory ground beef, tender potatoes, mixed vegetables, and creamy mushroom soup, all topped with melty cheese. It’s a warm, comforting one-pan meal perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 3 cups potatoes, diced small
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish.
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked beef mixture, frozen vegetables, diced potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spoon mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly. Cover tightly with foil.
  5. Bake covered for 45 minutes to steam the potatoes and soften the vegetables.
  6. Uncover and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Return to oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef with ground turkey or shredded chicken for a lighter version.
  • Use cream of chicken soup or homemade white sauce if mushroom soup isn’t available.
  • Fresh vegetables can replace frozen—just dice them small.
  • Cheddar is classic, but try Colby Jack or mozzarella for variety.
