Steps:
- Cook together ground beef and onion until done.
- Drain off any grease from ground beef and onion mixture (I always use a colander for this and sometimes I even rinse my ground beef with hot water to make it more lean and to take the grease off better.) After meat mixture is drained add all ingredients to large pan or crockpot and mix well.
- Simmer 45 minutes on stove or cook for 4 hours in crockpot.

- Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans adds flavor and texture to your hobo beans. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans.
- Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and nutrition to your hobo beans. Some good options include onions, peppers, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the beans is important. A good option is to use a combination of chicken broth and vegetable broth. You can also add a bay leaf or two to the broth for extra flavor.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Hobo beans can be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
