Lefty's Cooking Tips

It’s like magic! Start with Hamburger Helper® lasagna, add spinach, plenty of cheese, plus fresh ground beef, and you’ve got a satisfying dinner in a snap.

Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F. Rinse spinach with cold water to separate; drain thoroughly. In small bowl, mix mozzarella, cottage and Parmesan cheeses; set aside.
In 12-inch skillet, cook beef, garlic and pepper flakes over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain. Stir in spinach, sauce mix and uncooked pasta (from Hamburger Helper box) and hot water. Spoon into ungreased 2-quart casserole or 12×8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish. Spoon cheese mixture evenly over top.
Bake uncovered 40 to 50 minutes or until top is golden brown and sauce is bubbly.
