Swap out the ground beef and use sausage or ground turkey instead.
Add extra vegetables to the casserole. Sautéed mushrooms would be great, and so would corn, canned (drained) diced tomatoes, or even diced and peeled boiled eggplant.
Instead of cream of mushroom soup, try cream of celery soup or cream of chicken soup for a slightly different flavor.
Make sure that you squeeze the spinach very dry before adding it to the casserole. I like to use a dish towel to wring out the liquid, which prevents a watery, soggy casserole.
Start with softened, room temperature cream cheese, sour cream and milk. This will help the ingredients come together smoothly.

I just took this out of the oven 30 minutes ago. First, I used 10 oz fresh spinach. Added it in after Browning and draining the meat and onions. Added garlic and spinach and cooked just til spinach was wilted. From there,I followed the recipe as written. As I followed, I realized that it lacked seasoning, so I added a pinch of salt and a big pinch of ground pepper. Fast forward to pouring into the baking dish. It was obvious that there was too much liquid which would not cook off given the rest of the recipe instructions. I thought about it for a while and decided to use a pkg of CHEAP ramen noodles (y'all all know what I'm talking about). Crunched them up pretty small (without seasoning pkt) and worked them through what was in the casserole already. Then proceeded with recipe as written. With my changes, it came out pretty good. Fed us and will have lefties for tomorrow
I made this recipe for my family for dinner this evening and it was fantastic! So tasty and very satisfying. Thank you for sharing! :)
Sounds amazing. Could I use bagged fresh spinach? If so, would it just be added into the casserole and cook as stated.
Thanks, Janet
