Spinach Beef Macaroni Bake image

This hearty casserole is great for a family reunion or church supper. I've also made half the recipe for family gatherings. It's become a special favorite of my grandson-in-law and great-grandson, who often ask me to serve it when they're visiting. -Lois Lauppe, Lahoma, Oklahoma

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and I added some chopped mushrooms.
