Made as written, this is really blah. I ended up adding way more seasoning to the meat mixture - more garlic, cumin, some onion powder, and a heaped tbsp of Chipotle Pepper powder. This turned out ok, but nothing spectacular. Thanks anyway. Oh, and Merry Christmas everyone!

My husband loved this recipe, and I liked it okay...the spinach & picante flavor combination was a little weird for me! It was a good hearty meal for a cold night, and not a bad way to get veggies, meat, and grains all in one dish.

It's kind of like Mexican Lasagna. I used rotini instead of penne (it's what I had) and a 16 oz bag of frozen chopped spinach instead of 10 oz (again, its what I had) and the proportions turned out kind of weird. There was a too much of the cream cheese filling and not enough of the pasta layer. But it was good, I took it to a pot luck and it all got eaten. Also, I added an onion to the ground beef while I was browning it. I also added the spices to the meat while browning, to really bring out their flavor (esp. the cumin, I used whole seeds instead of ground). I threw in some crushed red peppers for good measure and that gave it a nice kick.

This was so tasty! I wasn't so sure when putting it all together. I don't believe I've ever combined oregano, cumin, and chili powder in the same dish. I love spinach, but wasn't sure how it would be in mexican dish, but this was really great. I actually split it into two smaller pans, and have frozen one for later. The smaller pan made plenty tonight for my toddler and myself (hubby missed dinner due to work), and lots of leftovers for later. And, my 17 mo. old at all of it! He loves zesty stuff. I will keep an eye on it next time, as I think I did let it go a little too long (did the 30 min. as suggested). That could be due to my crazy oven that is really about 25 degrees hotter than it should be! :) Great recipe, thanks so much for sharing!

I would give this 4 1/2 stars. It was good. LIke the reviews said, good way to hide spinach. I would call it Mexican Lasagna. It was good.

This is a family favorite for us, the only thing I've changed is adding extra cheese on top and occasionally, I will use the hot picante for added spice (it is plenty spicy alone as I use the medium picante). But sometimes the kids and hubby ask for extra spicy!

YUM! I only made a few changes: whole wheat pasta, salsa instead of picante (couldn't find it) and omitted the olives (not a fan) and it was excellent!! I love spinach but you can hardly taste it so it would probably be great for picky kids!

It wasn't all ingredients I had sitting in my cupboard, but it was worth going to the store. I went all-out healthy - fat free kraft cheese, 93% lean ground beef, and whole wheat penne. I used medium picante sauce, would use spicy next time. Over all, a delicious, healthy, and unique-looking caserole.

Not only tastes great, but is a super way to disguise spinach in a meal.
