  1. This was GREAT! DH and I loved it, daughter picked at it but ate some (she's extremely picky!) We used 1 pound of ground beef and 3 cloves garlic plus added a carrot and 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves. I omitted the salt and used a full cup of low fat mozzarella cheese. The only thing I'll do differently next time is mix the cup of cheese into the rest of the mixture then top with 1/3 cup cheese for final 5 minutes. Delicious, easy, and pretty good for you too! THANKS Ceezie for the recipe!
