I love making this when there is a large family gathering. Instead of many pots & pans it only takes 2. Possibly 3 if you want to smother it in peppered cream gravy! You can make this in a large skillet but I prefer a griddle, easier to turn when it's time. As far as meats or vegetables go its made with what you like & the amount is up to you! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Yield 4 casseroles

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

10 lbs potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
3 lbs ground beef
6 -8 medium carrots, diced
1 (10 ounce) bottle Worcestershire sauce (approx. 1 1/4 cups)
1 large onion, chopped
1 head garlic, peeled and chopped fine

4 cups milk
salt, to taste (I use approximately 1 tablespoon)
pepper, to taste (I use approximately 1 teaspoon)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Spray 4 9x13-inch baking pans with non-stick cooking spray (such as Pam); set aside.

Remove foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

**I have to mix this recipe in thirds since I don't have a large enough skillet or bowl to mix it all at once**.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your casserole.
Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
Use a flavorful cheese. This will help to bind the ingredients together and add flavor to the casserole.
Season the casserole well. This will help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to set the cheese and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Hobo Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a casserole that is sure to please the whole family.
