Green & Gold Casserole

In the history of the stage, Shakespeare’s actors generally avoided green. It was thought to bring bad luck due to a tradition going back to Judas’s costume in the medieval mystery plays, which was green and yellow. In football, here in the USA, it means The Green Bay Packers. In this dish, it only refers to spinach and cheese!


Here is another “out of the pantry” casserole. Use up what you have or just let it inspire you! This is a lasagna like dish built from ravioli, ground beef, cottage cheese, spinach and a can of cheese soup.
 

Ingredients
1 5oz bag fresh spinach
24 oz. cottage cheese
1 egg
a can ravioli
½ lbs ground beef
½ onion chopped

Directions:


Do your cutting. Chop the whole onion and bag up to freeze any you don't need right now.


if you like – remove the stems from the spinach (some prefer this)
Pre heat the oven to 350 and spray a casserole dish. 
 

Brown the ground beef with the chopped onion, about 8 minutes.


Add spinach by handfuls, stirring each until wilted down.


In a medium bowl use a hand mixer to blend the cottage cheese and egg until smooth.


Open the can of cheese soup.
Assemble the casserole by layering.

Lay a bed with half the ravioli. 


Top with half the blended cottage cheese. 
 

Spread the spinach-beef mixture. 
 

Cover with the rest of the cottage cheese mixture on top and add the rest of the ravioli on top. 
 


Top with spoonfuls of undiluted cheese soup on the top and cover.

NOTE: for a more traditional look instead of soup, use grated cheddar.

Bake this at 350 for about 40 minutes or until flavors are blended and thoroughly heated through.


Serve as you would a lasagna with a salad and hot bread.
