This creamy, cheesy Spinach and Ground Beef Casserole is an old-fashioned, easy dinner that's ready for the oven in about 30 minutes!

Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 2 (10 oz) boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, not diluted
- ½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
- ½ cup milk, at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
- ¾ cup French-fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
- Stir in the spinach, cream cheese, condensed soup, sour cream, milk, salt and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Stir over low heat, just until combined.
- Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil; sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the French-fried onions. Bake for 10 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Notes
- Swap out the ground beef and use sausage or ground turkey instead.
- Add extra vegetables to the casserole. Sautéed mushrooms would be great, and so would corn, canned (drained) diced tomatoes, or even diced and peeled boiled eggplant.
- Instead of cream of mushroom soup, try cream of celery soup or cream of chicken soup for a slightly different flavor.
- Make sure that you squeeze the spinach very dry before adding it to the casserole. I like to use a dish towel to wring out the liquid, which prevents a watery, soggy casserole.
- Start with softened, room temperature cream cheese, sour cream and milk. This will help the ingredients come together smoothly.
