My family, which includes my parents and six brothers and sisters, all love this recipe. Sometimes I use ground turkey in place of the ground beef.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the mushrooms, salt, oregano and pepper. Add the spinach, soup and sour cream. Stir in half of the cheese.
Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Dinner fail. :( With all the great reviews and positive feedback, I thought this would be a surefire hit. None of my family members enjoyed this dish and we ended up throwing it away. i followed directions exactly. Overpowering spinach (and we very much enjoy spinach.) Did not find that flavors matched. Disappointed we spent at least $15 to make this casserole and ended up in the garbage.

I used 1# hot Italian Sausage instead of the beef. It was absolutely scrumptious!

This was good- we both liked it quite a bit! It was easy to make and the flavors blended together nicely.

I have made this many times. My husband loves it. I've used turkey at times along with a small can of chopped chiles. I use whatever cheese I have at the time. You really can't mess this recipe up. Delicious!

This is so yummy! I'd eat the whole pan myself, but I doubt my man would appreciate that!

I followed the recipe just as it was given. I served it with salad, and it made an excellent meal. I will definitely make this again.
