Delicious, So good & easy to make. I made 1/2 the recipe for the 2 of us. I had fresh spinach, so I steamed & drained it. Baked it for about 25 minutes it was bubbly and browned. DH said, this is a keeper. Like you said, tasted like Cannelloni without the pasta. Thank you Ginny for sharing this recipe.

This is SO good! I used an oval baking dish. After baking for 20 minutes, I took it out of the oven and set my broiler to high, without changing the rack level. After it preheated 5 minutes, I set it under the broiler until the cheese was bubbly and browning like I like it. To die for! It really is like cannelloni without the cannelloni! LOL

This is definitely more than the sum of its parts. I really liked the flavor combination. Made for Freezer Tag 2008. I made the casserole through step 7 then froze it. I thawed it in the fridge for a day before baking, covered about 30 minutes. Then I uncovered it and baked it about 20 minutes more. Very nice flavor and very filling. Be sure to drain the spinach very well so you don't get a soggy casserole. I'll make this again. A nice change of pace from my usual hamburger casseroles.
