Ingredients
  

  • 1 package frozen spinach, thawed (10 oz)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 quart jar pasta sauce (mushroom flavor, or your favorite)
  • 2 cups shell macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 13-x-9-inch baking dish. Set aside. In a skillet, over medium heat, brown ground meat with onions. Drain, if necessary. Add spaghetti sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • In a colander or kitchen towel, squeeze excess moisture out of thawed spinach. In a bowl, combine drained spinach, eggs and oil and mix well. Combine cooked pasta, spinach mixture, the cheeses and bread crumbs well and spread into prepared baking dish.
  • Top with the meat sauce and cover with foil. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Allow to set for 10 minutes before cutting. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
