  • Spinach Lasagna...

    Okay, tonight I made Spinach Lasagna, and OMG it was soooo good!!! It's another recipe I have been looking at on line, and have wanted to try. I'm so glad I did!!! I wanted to eat the WHOLE thing BUT, I controlled myself, and only had one serving and a small salad with Blue Cheese Dressing. I did make one mistake, I thought I grabbed the Mozzarella Cheese, and I actually grabbed the Montery Jack Cheese. I didn't realise until it was in the oven. It turned out great though!!! So if you like Monterey Jack instead of Mozzarela it turns out DELISH!!! I also didn't add the garlic, but you can. Here is the recipe...

    SPINACH LASAGNA
    10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
    1 pound ground beef
    2 tablespoons onion, chopped
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
    8 ounces cream cheese
    1 egg
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
    2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (I used the kind in a can)


    Brown the hamburger with the onion; drain off fat. Mix in the garlic powder and spaghetti sauce; season to taste and heat until bubbly. Meanwhile, soften the cream cheese in a medium-size microwaveable bowl for about 40-60 seconds. Stir until creamy; beat in egg and pepper with a spoon until well mixed. Blend in the spinach. Spread half the meat mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased, 8 x 8" glass baking pan. Spread spinach mixture over the meat; top with the mozzarella, then the rest of the meat. It may not completely cover the top, but that's ok. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Bake at 350ยบ about 30 minutes until hot and bubbly. Or, cover with plastic wrap and vent one corner then microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes; then reduce to MEDIUM and cook for another 7-10 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let stand 3 minutes before serving.

    Makes 6-9 servings
    Can be frozen (I froze my left overs)

        Thanks!

          Thanks
          This is my FAVORITE recipe. I make it all the time.
          I just made it a few days ago. What's nice is that you can freeze it, so I cut it into servings and freeze each piece. I've had it for breakfast when I'm in a rush and don't have time to cook. It's just one of those meals that comes in handy to have ready in the freezer

            I can't believe how many times I've done that and it's usually when I'm making pizza. I usually buy the right cheese but don't look closely enough at the package in the cheese drawer of my fridge. I see the "MO..." and think "Mozzarella" only to find out that it's MOnterery Jack AFTER I've opened the package and started grating it.

            I'm glad you liked the Spinach Lasagna. It's one of my favorites.

              Try making this one with sage sausage or hot sausage instead of the ground beef for a little more spice. Yummy!

              I made this on Sunday to have for lunches this week -- it's the recipe I keep coming back to. It's easy and dang tasty!

                  YES a big thanks to Linda for her site. *standing ovation*

                  and a big thanks to you for posting this recipe. Spinach pizza was my favorite so I'll be trying this. Unfortunately I am the only one in my house that will eat spinach. Is it overwhelming in this? I might can sneak it past them.

                      OMG, I'm eating this as we speak...it is marvelous!!! I didn't make it with the past sauce because I didn't have any readily available, but it is very good without it. I added a little more mozarella/provolone mixed cheese on the top and left it in for a few minutes longer, it made a cheese "crust" on top that is yummy!!!

                      Thank you ladies for helping realize how "UN" boring this WOL can be. You guys rock!!!
