Beef and Creamed Spinach
Serves 2
½ pound extra-lean ground beef
¼ cup onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 (10 oz.) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup half and half
Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Combine ground beef, chopped onion and salt and pepper; form in to two patties. In a skillet, brown beef patties over medium-high heat. Flip carefully so you don’t break them. In a saucepan, place spinach, half and half and butter. Cook over mediu-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until spinach and cream thicken. Spoon creamed spinach onto dinner plates and top each with a beef patty. Garnish with parmesan cheese, if desired.
