This was deliciaous! I really like spinach in caseroles, so it is a keeper! The mushrooms really made it great (I used fresh). DEFINITELY cook the rice separately. Maybe if you didn't squeeze the spinach of the excess water, you could bake with the rice but i didn't dare.

The whole family enjoyed this, even with changes to accommodate what we had on hand. I used hot Italian sausage instead of ground beef, substituted fresh mushrooms, added a can of tomatoes and precooked the rice. Plus I eliminated the mozzarella and I don't think anyone missed it. It was ready to go after only 30 minutes in the oven. Yummy! Looking forward to leftovers for lunch today.

This was so good and a family favorite. I have two boys, 11 and 14 who are serious athletes. When they come home from practice they want food - and this was one they loved and it actually had things that were good for them! My husband couldn't get enough and even ate the leftovers. I took others advice and precooked the rice. I've made it with more cheese, but it's just as good with less. I plan to try it with fresh spinach.

I made a few changes to this recipe according to time and likes/dislikes. The first thing I wanted to do was to eliminate the mushrooms, and based on the review I read I opted to add 1 14.5 oz. can Red Pack diced tomatoes w/ basil, oregano, and garlic. Then, I decided to used cooked rice as opposed to uncooked, to help alleviate some of the absorbing of the liquid. By the time I had added all but the spinach it tasted so good, I stopped there. It was a huge hit and success w/o the spinach, but I plan on making it w/ the spinach next time.

This meal was pretty good and I will probably make it again. It was very simple to make. It was slightly dry so next time I won't drain my spiniach as much to give it a little bit of extra moisture.
