Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large skillet or dutch oven, combine the 1lb ground beef, 1 diced onion, 8oz fresh sliced mushrooms, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1 tsp oregano and cook over medium heat until meat is browned and the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- While the beef mixture is browning, microwave the frozen spinach to defrost it. I microwaved it in a microwave safe bowl for 4 minutes. Then, remove from the microwave and over the sink, press the spinach up against the sides of the bowl to extract excess liquid and drain off the liquid. You can also use cheesecloth or a sieve if you prefer.
- Once the spinach is fully strained, add it to the browned beef mixture and toss to combine.
- Next, combine the rice, 1 tsp oregano, 1 cup sour cream, 1 Tbs butter and 3/4 cup of milk in a small bowl and stir until combined and creamy. If the rice isn't warm and the butter doesn't melt, you can microwave it for 45 seconds.
- Add the creamy rice mix to the beef and spinach mixture and then pour it all into a medium to large sized rectangular casserole dish and spread evenly to all sides.
- Sprinkle 8 oz shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese on top is melty and slightly browned.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven before slicing.

GROUND BEEF TOMATO SPINACH CASSEROLE
This is a remake of my recipe #290137. I had purchased a container of spinach to make the soup recipe for an iron chef competition at work. I ended up not participating because there was a conflict. I didn't want to throw away the spinach and it was too hot for soup, so I came up with this one-dish meal. It was very filling and low-fat. I calculated this on the WW website and it's 4 points per serving.
