Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

4 medium-sized potatoes, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, diced

2 cups mixed vegetables (green beans, corn, and peas)

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)

1 cup beef broth

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Break it up into small pieces while cooking. Drain excess fat.

      Add Onions and Spices: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large casserole dish, layer the thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom. Pour the cooked beef and onion mixture over the potatoes, followed by the mixed vegetables and diced tomatoes with their juice.

          Pour in Broth: Carefully pour the beef broth evenly over the entire casserole to ensure all the layers are moistened.

            Cover and Bake: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

              Add Cheese: After baking, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your hearty Hobo Delight Casserole!
