Biscuit-Crust Spinach Ground Beef Bake

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"My family loves lots of heat so I also add in 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped along with the dryed chili flakes, but both can be omited if desired. You can use grated cheddar cheese for the top in place of Parmesan, just sprinkle the cheddar cheese on the last 5 minutes of baking. I have made this dish using Italian sausage meat, removed from casings in place of the ground beef, I like the sausage better, but the choice is yours!"

One thing I might try differently next time is replacing the biscuits with crescent roll dough.
