Spinach Taco Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Thaw spinach and squeeze out water. Soften cream cheese.
• In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese and seasoning salt. Mix well and spoon into 2 quart casserole dish.
• Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degree C) for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Saute beef, onion, and garlic in large saucepan until beef is browned.
• Add tomato sauce, salt, chili powder, and vinegar. Add more salt/chili powder to taste preference. Simmer.
• Layer in a casserole dish chips, cheese, spinach, and meat mixture. Repeat until all of ingredients are used. Top layer should be cheese.
• Bake 20-25 minutes uncovered.
• Serve with hot sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the heavy cream, nutmeg and cayenne and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix in the spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer the mixture to a 1 1/2- to 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the panko and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until bubbling and light golden on top, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the ricotta, cilantro and 1 clove garlic in a medium bowl and season with salt.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and cook without stirring until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the chiles, spinach (in batches) and cumin and cook, stirring, until the spinach begins to wilt. Add the remaining 2 cloves garlic and cook until the spinach is completely wilted, about 3 more minutes. Season with salt; transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap in a damp towel and microwave 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the spinach mixture among the tortillas, top with the ricotta mixture and a spoonful of salsa verde and fold. Serve with more salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place cottage cheese, eggs, flour, sour cream, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth. Mix spinach, cottage cheese mixture, and 2 cups of Cheddar cheese in a bowl, then spread into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Top with the remaining 2 cups of Cheddar cheese and continue baking until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix taco seasoning into raw ground meat before cooking it.I find this makes the meat taste more flavorful than sprinkling on after cooking.
• 2. Brown ground meat until fully cooked on medium heat.After cooked, add water and simmer 3 minutes on low until some of the water is cooked off but not all of it.
• 3. While meat is cooking, microwave or cook frozen spinach until just warm. Squeeze out most of the liquid.Too much liquid in the meat or spinach makes for soggy tortillas. Too little makes it a bit dry.
• 4. Spray casserole with cooking spray.First layer 3 tortillas to cover bottom of pan. May overlap slightly.If your size tortilla doesn't fit, just tear them in half to make fit your oval casserole or 9x13 pan.
• 5. Divide your meat and cooked spinach for 3 layers.On top of tortillas, spread meat then spinach. Continue for 2 more layers. End with tortillas.
• 6. Cover casserole with lid or foil. Bake 325 for 45 minutes until hot.Top with shredded mozzarella and bake 5 more minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
• 7. You may make this recipe to serve 4 by using an 8x8 casserole, 1 lb meat, 1 package taco seasoning, 6 tortillas, 1 box spinach, 1/2 cup water and 1 cup cheese.Still takes about 30-40 minutes to heat through in oven.
• 8. I serve with shredded lettuce,salsa and sour cream.You may add sliced black olives to your layering.May use shredded leftover cooked chicken-very versatile recipe.
