My favorite recipe on this site! I changed it a little - no onions and after the ground beef is cooked I add everything to the crock pot and let it cook for a couple of hours. It makes it more of a dip that we eat w/nachos. So much for low carb but it's a hit! I am asked to make it all the time!!

This was a hit with our family. I did use fresh spinach instead of frozen as that's what I had on hand. I wilted it in the pan after the ground beef and onion were cooked, then threw the cream cheese on top for a bit to get it melty. Then mixed it with everything else in the pan. I can not wait to try it in my omelet tomorrow morning! Thank you so much for posting!

I have made this several times for my husband and I. I add a can of green chiles to the mix and shredded cheddar to the top. We fill a low carb tortilla with it, add a little taco sauce and eat it like a burrito! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I added chopped green chilies in lieu of the jalapenos and topped it with shredded cheese for the last 10 minutes of baking. It is very filling and made plenty for lunches tomorrow. Thanks for a good recipe.

Very good recipe. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen. I cooked everything on the stove and baked it for 25 mins.
