Main IngredientBeef
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 medium onion, chopped, 2 ounces
10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
8 ounce cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons Seasoning for Tacos
10 ounce can Ro-tel tomatoes, drained (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
1/4 cup canned sliced pickled jalapeños
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Brown the hamburger and onion; drain fat. Put in a greased 2 1/2-quart casserole along with all remaining ingredients. Mix well and bake at 350* for about 40 minutes or until bubbly and browned on top.
I cooked mine for 20 minutes and it was already getting really brown, so it's best to watch it.
Also I mixed everything together in the frying pan before I put it in the casserole dish.

Taco Seasoning
(only use 2 tsp for this recipe)
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch cayenne
Combine and add to 1 pound browned and drained ground beef. Add a little water, if desired. This will be drier than taco meat made with a commercial mix due to the lack of thickeners. It tastes just as good as the store bought kind and is a lot cheaper to make.
Makes enough for 1 pound ground beef or 4-6 servings
