Creating Hobo Casserole is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to prepare this incredible meal:

1. Preheat Oven: First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, allowing them to cook for about 3-4 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), uncooked elbow macaroni, beef broth, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix thoroughly.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Once the macaroni is al dente, transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes to allow the cheese to become golden and bubbly.
9. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Your Hobo Casserole is now ready to be enjoyed!
