Quick and easy meal to throw together at the end of the work day. A new way to use up ground beef. I used fresh spinach leaves, about 1 c. of chopped onion and added 3 cloves of garlic, minced. Served over rice.

This was very good. It disspeared quickly. I think next time I will add some ceyenne pepper to it as someone else suggested and maybe even serve this over egg noodles. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this. I did make a few changes. I cooked a blade roast in my crockpot the night before (I prefer shredded beef to ground beef). I added 2 tbsp emeril southwestern spice. I also used fresh spinach versus frozen. I'll certainly be making this again -- great dinner for a low carber.

This is wonderful. My husband thought this was one of the better ground beef casserole he's tried. Thank you for the TERRIFIC recipe.
