Delicious Slow Cooker Hobo Casserole: A Hearty Meal for Every Occasion

How to Make Slow Cooker Hobo Casserole:

1. Browning the Meat: Start by browning the ground beef or sausage in a saucepan until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

2. Preparing the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease your slow cooker to prevent sticking. Add the cooked meat, diced onion, cream of mushroom soup, and diced potatoes into the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Give it a gentle stir to combine the ingredients evenly.

3. Cooking Process: Set your slow cooker to high heat and let it cook for 3 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the ingredients to soften.

4. Adding the Macaroni and Broth: After 3 hours, pour in the chicken or beef broth and add the uncooked macaroni noodles. Cover the slow cooker and continue cooking on high for an additional 30 minutes. This step ensures that the macaroni cooks to perfection and absorbs the delicious flavors of the dish.

5. Final Touches: Once the macaroni is tender, mix in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the sour cream. Stir well to incorporate the cheese and sour cream into the casserole mixture. Then, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top.

6. Finishing Touches: Cover the slow cooker again and let the casserole cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until everything is bubbly and the cheese is melted to perfection.

7. Serving the Dish: Serve the Slow Cooker Hobo Casserole hot, straight from the slow cooker. Enjoy the rich and comforting flavors that make this dish a true delight for any occasion.
