Hobo Casserole Ground Beef

—

### 👩‍🍳 How to Make It:

1. **Preheat your oven** to 375°F (190°C).
2. **Brown the beef**: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until beef is browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices. Drain excess fat.
3. **Layer the casserole**: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the beef mixture. Repeat layers.
4. **Mix the soup**: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Pour evenly over the casserole.
5. **Top it off**: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top for a golden, gooey finish.
6. **Bake** for 45–55 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
7. **Let it rest** for 5–10 minutes before serving—then dig in!
