Good morning!
Yep, it’s another Monday morning. Are you ready to go to work? If you’re anything like me – and I’m sure you are – the weekend wasn’t nearly long enough.
At least we have leftovers from this savory, beefy casserole to look forward to when we get home. No cooking tonight, just a lovely meal just waiting to be warmed up and served with a colorful, leafy green salad.
Enjoy your Monday and don’t work too hard!
Beefy Spinach and Mushroom Casserole
Beefy Spinach and Mushroom Casserole
Serves 6
1 pound extra lean beef, ground
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup red wine
1 can low fat cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cups spinach
2 cups Bisquick
⅓ cup water
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add oil. Then add onion and cook 3 – 4 minutes to soften. Add ground beef and cook another 5 – 6 minutes until beef is cooked through.
3. Add garlic, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, wine, soup and mushrooms. Cook another 5 minutes until heated through. Add spinach, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Mix Bisquick and water to form a soft dough. Add water in increments to keep dough from becoming too soft. Add more water if dough is too dry. Roll dough out to the size of your casserole dish.
5. Spray a medium casserole dish with cooking spray and spread out beef mixture. Top with dough and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes until dough is lightly browned and cooked through.
What’s good for me in this dish?
Lean beef is a terrific source of protein. Protein is a fundamental part of every cell in your body. We use it for growth and also to repair our organs, skin, hair, and nails. In addition, protein is involved in the building of our bones, muscles and blood. Pretty important stuff! Just 3 or 4 ounces can provide a person with half a day’s requirement of this macronutrient.
Spinach is another powerhouse of nutrition. Spinach contains iron for energy, and vitamins C and A, folic acid and B6 to help your heart. Spinach has 13 different flavonoid compounds that function as antioxidants, and as anti-cancer agents.

Weekend was certainly not long enough, although coming home to this would make Monday seem all the better!

The weekend is never long enough, is it!
I like the combination of spinach and beef. If you add the mushrooms then it is perfect. Such a good thing not to have to cook when you get back from work.

I love casseroles. This one looks fabulous. I haven’t been serving them too often these days as hubby is still with that low carb diet, meat n veges only. Think I’m should start preparing large roasts so that there will be plenty of leftovers to feed DH while dad and I try some delicious casseroles like this one!

Beef and mushrooms are always a good combination.
This sounds like a great dish!
Definitely a family favorite.
Leftovers are great for lunch. Casseroles actually taste better the next day and this one looks like a winner.

You’re right, now that I think of it! Just a little sour cream next time and it would be perfect. Thanks for the suggestion!
This looks like perfect fall food! So comforting – and right up my alley. I am bookmarking this one. Yum!!!!

I don’t often make casseroles, but this time of year really makes them inviting.
