  1. 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.
     
  2. 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!
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. This is wonderful. My husband thought this was one of the better ground beef casserole he's tried. Thank you for the TERRIFIC recipe.
     
  5. I doubled the spices in this, added extra mustard seed, and it still came out very bland. There's a reason that other reviewers are calling for the addition of cayenne. I recommend several cloves of garlic and maybe a little fennel. The recipe probably did not need the heavy cream, and calories could be saved that way. It does taste like a filling for a meat pie or a quiche, so maybe mixed with carbquick it could still be low-carb for dieters.
