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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use freshly grated cheese: Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. Freshly grated cheese will melt more evenly and give your casserole a better flavor.
- Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is browned on the outside and still slightly pink in the center.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your casserole. Some good options include spinach, broccoli, carrots, and corn.
- Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to your casserole. Taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Cheesy spinach and beef casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With its combination of ground beef, spinach, cheese, and pasta, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
