Beef and Spinach Pasta Bake

An easy casserole made with ground beef, rotini, spinach in a creamy tomato sauce, and of course lots of cheese.

1 onion, diced
1 clove crushed garlic
1 lb lean ground beef
1 jar (26 oz) of your favourite pasta sauce
1 can condensed mushroom soup
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 pkg (375g) whole wheat rotini noodles
1 1/2 cups shredded mozarella cheese

In a very large skillet or dutch oven on medium heat, cook onion, garlic and beef until meat has browned. Add pasta sauce, soup, parmesan and spinach and cook until heated through. Add cooked rotini noodles and stir until combined. Pour into a greased 9×12″ casserole dish. Top with mozarella cheese. Bake at 350F uncovered for 25 minutes.

This was so easy and so yummy! Tony especially liked it, he mentioned several times how good it was. Cole, again, was not that interested, but Bennett ate a lot of it. This recipe makes a large amount, so we had lots left over. That was good, because it was perfect for lunches since it reheats beautifully.

    Megan ~ I made this about 2 months ago and the kids loved it…so I made it again last night, for dinner tonight. I like that I could pre-make it and keep in the fridge. I also put it into two corningware dishes…made the bigger dish ‘kid friendly’ and added spice and pepper flakes to the ‘dad’ version. All in all, a great dinner recipe (it’s like Adult Hamburger Helper!)

    this is a great recipe. I have made it several times and I substituted garbanzo beans and Romano cheese. Omitted mushroom soup. It is healthy and very delicious. Great for a luncheon.
