Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with Italian-style herbs, undrained
12 sheets frozen phyllo (filo) (14x9 inch), thawed
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup Progresso™ Italian style bread crumbs
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  • In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently; drain. Stir in spinach, parsley, salt, pepper, and all but 1/2 cup of the tomatoes. Cook and stir until hot; set aside.
  • Cover phyllo sheets with damp paper towel. Arrange sheets, layering 3 at a time, in an X shape and then in a + shape to create a spoke pattern on work surface, brushing each with butter and sprinkling with 1 teaspoon of the bread crumbs as it is added. Transfer all layers of phyllo to pie plate, gently easing dough down sides of pie plate and allowing excess dough to hang over edge. Place beef mixture in pie plate; top with feta cheese. Fold overhanging phyllo up and over filling, leaving 2- to 3-inch center of filling uncovered. Spoon remaining 1/2 cup tomatoes in center. Brush phyllo with butter.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

This is the best spanakopita I've ever had! The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the phyllo dough is perfectly crispy. I highly recommend this recipe!

This spanakopita was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This spanakopita was a disappointment. The filling was too salty and the phyllo dough was soggy. I won't be making this again.

This spanakopita was good, but not great. The filling was a little bland and the phyllo dough was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this spanakopita. The feta cheese and spices balanced out the spinach flavor perfectly, and the phyllo dough was nice and flaky.

This is my go-to spanakopita recipe. It's easy to follow and always turns out delicious. I love that I can use frozen spinach, which makes it a great weeknight meal.
