Cheesy Ground Beef Spinach Sour Cream Noodle Casserole
Your family will be clammering for more when you serve this casserole, it is simply delicious, don't expect any leftovers lol! We like extreme heat so i most always add in two large chopped jalapeno peppers in with the ground beef mixture. You can use grated mozzeralla cheese in place of monterey jack for the top or you omit the cheese completely and just top with parmesan. Make certain to hand-squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach, or the sour cream will become to runny.

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet cook the beef with the onions , garlic , bell pepper , italian seasoning , mushrooms and chili flakes until the beef is no longer pink.

In a large bowl combine the spinach with 2-1 / 2 cups monterey jack cheese , sour cream , egg , green onion , garlic powder and 1 / 4 cup grated parmesan cheese.
Mix to combine , then fold in cooked egg noodles.
Spoon the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
