Creating Hobo Casserole is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Make sure to crumble the beef as it cooks.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, corn, uncooked pasta, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for about 35-40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the broth.
7. Add Cheese: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let it Rest: Once out of the oven, allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.

These straightforward steps will guide you to crafting this delightful Hobo Casserole effortlessly.
