This recipe is adapted from a recipe I found in Suzanne Somers Fast & Easy. I added the spinach and made some other modifications, and a family favourite was born.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3 eggs, beaten
3 cups shredded cheddar
salt & pepper
1 pkg thawed chopped spinach
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with Pam or other non-stick spray.
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and add cream, eggs & cheese. Squeeze all water from spinach, add to the beef mixture. Season with salt & pepper. Pour mixture into baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Notes:
Make sure all water is drained from spinach, or your casserole will be watery. I put the spinach in cheesecloth and squeeze the water out.
You can substitute ground turkey for the beef, or other kinds of cheese if you prefer. It is good with Swiss or mozzarella.
