Joe's Special

efore you ask, I have no idea who "Joe" is. This is a recipe I grew up with, meaning I never had the childhood dread of spinach that seems so prevalent. Whereas California Casserole is my favorite recipe, this is my brother's favorite. It's not as healthy as some of the recipes on these pages, but how bad can it be? It does have spinach, after all. Popeye would never lie to us ...

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 small can of sliced mushrooms
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 package of frozen spinach
• 1 egg

This recipe is so easy, it's almost embarrassing.

Brown the beef, drain the fat (I mean, really! Yuck!). Add spinach, and pour off the water once it's thawed. Add mushrooms and saute. Add egg and scramble into the rest.

Could one use fresh spinach and mushrooms? Probably. But I'm a lazy, lazy boy and haven't messed with the old recipe. Why don't you try it and get back to me?
