Easy Hobo Casserole – Hearty, Cheesy, and Comforting

par

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula so the ingredients are distributed in a uniform layer.
  2. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep in the steam — this helps the potatoes and carrots cook until tender.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Finish Baking

  1. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend).
  2. Return the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving — this allows the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to settle.

Serving & Storage

  • Serving: Enjoy warm, straight from the oven, with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.
  • Side Ideas: Serve alongside a crisp green salad, buttered rolls, or steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
  • Freezing Tip: Assemble the casserole ahead of time and freeze (unbaked) for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as directed.
