Steps:
- Cook together ground beef and onion until done.
- Drain off any grease from ground beef and onion mixture (I always use a colander for this and sometimes I even rinse my ground beef with hot water to make it more lean and to take the grease off better.) After meat mixture is drained add all ingredients to large pan or crockpot and mix well.
- Simmer 45 minutes on stove or cook for 4 hours in crockpot.

Tips:
- Use flavorful beans: Choose beans with a bold flavor, such as black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans. You can also use a mix of beans for a more complex flavor.
- Use flavorful vegetables: The vegetables you use in your hobo beans will also contribute to the overall flavor of the dish. Choose vegetables that are in season and that have a good flavor, such as onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.
- Use a variety of spices: Spices are essential for adding flavor to hobo beans. Use a blend of spices that you enjoy, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are soft and tender, but not mushy. This will usually take about 1-2 hours.
- Serve the beans hot: Hobo beans are best served hot, right out of the pot. You can also serve them cold, but they will not be as flavorful.
Conclusion:
Hobo beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a pot of hobo beans that your whole family will enjoy.
