Spinach Lasagna

We made this for the first time a few weeks ago and it was amazing.  Yes, it doesn't have noodles but it is still very good!  Definitely will make it again. 5 stars

SPINACH LASAGNA

 
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons onion, chopped (I used the chopped up kind found in the freezer section)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
8 ounces cream cheese
1 egg
1/8 teaspoon pepper
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (I used the kind in the can) 

Brown the hamburger with the onion; drain off the fat. Mix in the garlic powder and spaghetti sauce; season to taste and heat until bubbly.

While the hamburger is browning, get the spinach in the microwave.  The kind I bought took about 9 minutes.

Meanwhile, soften the cream cheese in a medium-size microwaveable bowl for about 40-60 seconds. Stir until creamy; beat in the egg and pepper with a spoon until well mixed. Blend in the spinach.

Spread half of the meat mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased, 8 x 8" glass baking pan. Spread the spinach mixture over the meat; top with the mozzarella, then the rest of the meat. Don't worry if it doesn't completely cover the top.

Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Bake at 350º about 30 minutes until hot and bubbly. Or, cover with plastic wrap and vent one corner then microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes; then reduce to MEDIUM and cook for another 7-10 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let stand 3 minutes before serving.
