How to Make Easy Hobo Casserole in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

I’m always trying to think of a new, easy recipes that taste good. I do believe that I hit all the marks with this delicious Easy Crock Pot Hobo Casserole. My family, even my picky eater, gobbled this dish right up! It tastes that good!

I used frozen diced potatoes so that I wouldn’t have to wash, peel and dice potatoes. I also wanted this to cook up quickly, and frozen diced potatoes cook faster than raw potatoes. Since the ground beef and onion are already cooked, a longer cooking time isn’t necessary for them. The amount of time this recipe is in the crock pot is just enough for the potatoes to cook and the flavors of the ingredients to meld together.
