Remember these two from your childhood? What else are you going to call a casserole of spinach and sirloin? At least it will be easy to remember.
This is no wimpy casserole! Succulent bites of sirloin, button mushrooms, and caramelized onions cooked in a creamy spinach with the crust on top.
Ingredients
2 lbs sirloin steak cut into 3 inch pieces
1 lbs button mushrooms
3 yellow onions sliced thin
½ cup light mayonnaise
4 eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces cream cheese
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 tube croissant rolls
egg for wash
Directions:
Make sure the dutch oven fits on the rack before preheating the oven to 215 degrees.
Spray a dutch oven
Rinse and drain the mushrooms.
Slice the onions thinly and place in pot. Drop three ½ tsp of Better than Bullion beef flavor onto the onions.
Slice up the sirloin into 2 – 3 inch pieces and place in a large bowl with ½ cup cornstarch. Stir to coat well and let sit while the oven preheats.
Add the beef to pot on top of onions. Cover, and put in oven to slowly roast for 3 hours.
Remove beef to a covered plate. Spoon out the onions to a large bowl.
Reset the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the cream cheese into a dice and add to hot onions. Spoon in the mayo and stir well to coat.
Spoon this into a large bowl and add the drained and squeezed spinach, Mix with hand mixer to blend and process well.
Add 4 eggs. Again mix for a minute or two just to mix well. Stir in the grated cheese.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish and scatter the meat and mushrooms.
Pour the mixture over and around the meat and mushrooms
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
While that cooks, lay out a sheet of wax paper and unroll the croissant dough.
Carefully remove the baking dish and invert the wax paper with dough on top. Peel away the paper and brush the dough with an egg wash.
Slide back into the oven for an additional 20 mins.
Remove and let rest for 15 mins. This lets it set.
Serve with a side vegetable and some fruit if you like.
So happy to be serving this to my Master Indy.
