Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
  • 2 (10 oz) spinach frozen, chopped, thawed and squeezed dry, in boxes
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup not diluted, canned
  • ½ cup sour cream at room temperature
  • ½ cup milk at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
  • ¾ cup French-fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
