Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish with butter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning into the cooked beef, mixing well. Remove the skillet from heat.
In another skillet, add the fresh spinach and cook over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the cream cheese on low heat until softened. Stir in the milk to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked spinach with the cream cheese sauce. Mix well to coat the spinach evenly.
Layer half of the ground beef mixture in the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
Spread the spinach and cream cheese mixture evenly over the beef layer.
Add the remaining ground beef mixture on top of the spinach layer.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer of beef.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
