Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen, cut spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened (I prefer Philadelphia brand)
• 1 can (14 ounces) Mexican-style diced tomatoes (type of tomatoes and spiciness per your preference), drained
• 1 cup whole kernel corn, drained
• shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby Jack and Monterey Jack work well)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Cook the beef in a large skillet until no longer pink. When almost done, add the onion and continue cooking until translucent. Drain.
2. Add the spinach to the meat mixture and cook for a few minutes more. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Stir in the cream cheese, drained tomatoes and corn.
4. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
5. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 20 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
