To begin making Hobo Casserole I diced up some mushrooms and a yellow onion. 

Then I combined some almond milk, onion powder, paprika, pasta sauce, salt and pepper in a saucepan over med/low heat.

To thicken the sauce I mixed together a bit of almond milk with some Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Powder.

I whisked the paste into the almond milk in the sauce pan until it was well combined.

I stirred in the diced mushrooms.

Once the sauce was combined I began slicing up some potatoes with my mandoline slicer.  

For the base of the casserole I pressed some extra lean ground beef into the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan.

I sprinkled a bit of salt and pepper on top of the meat.

Then I placed a layer of the diced onions followed by a layer of sliced potatoes on top of the meat in the 9" x 13" baking dish.

I made sure the meat was totally covered with the potatoes.

Next I covered the potatoes with some slices of marbled cheddar cheese.

I poured the thickened sauce over top of the casserole.

The I covered the casserole with tinfoil and baked it for 90 minutes in a preheated 350F oven.

After 90 minutes I removed the casserole from the oven and covered it with crushed sour cream and onion potato chips.

I returned the casserole to the oven, uncovered for another 5 to 10 minutes after adding the potato chips.

After removing the Hobo Casserole from the oven I allowed it to sit for a couple of minutes before cutting it into squares.

Serve this delicious casserole with  your favourite salad on the side.

Hobo Casserole is a quick and easy comfort food meal to serve any time of the year.

Layers of beef, onion, potatoes, and chips will delight your taste buds.  Extra cheesy sauce can be spooned over top for those that want their serving topped up.  Reserve some of the crushed potato chips for those that want extra as well if you prefer.
