Easy Hobo Dinner Recipe
Seasoned ground beef and veggies, baked to perfection in one pan, then topped with cheese. The easiest hobo dinner ever!
Ingredients
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
- 3 large russet potatoes 1 1/2 pounds
- 1 ¾ cups sliced carrots 3 large
- 1 onion sliced or cut in chunks
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Pray an 8" square baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 375°.
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika; set aside.
- Wash, peel, and slice the carrots and potatoes about 1/4" thick. (You can leave the peels on if you prefer.) Cut the onion into chunks or slices.
- Press the ground beef into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle about a third of the seasoning over it.
- Arrange half of the potato slices over the meat; sprinkle with about a third of the seasoning. Add half of the carrots, then half of the onions.
- Repeat the potato. seasoning, carrots, and onion layers. If you have any seasoning left, sprinkle it on top.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top, and bake for about 5 more minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Feel free to spread a can of cream of mushroom soup over the top layer before you bake it. My family doesn't like it that way, but it is more traditional.
- If you prefer, you can also shape the hamburger into 4 patties, and place them on top of the vegetables instead of pressing the meat into the bottom of the pan.
- This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 9x13" pan.
