It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

1-2 hrs
ingredients
2 pounds ground beef or turkey or a combination of both
1 package dry French onion soup mix
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 medium onions, small diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 carrot, cleaned & shredded
2 tablespoons butter
10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped or frozen spinach thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled or your favorite grated cheese
3 slices day old bread
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a microwave safe dish, put the butter, onions, shredded carrots and parsley, cover with wax paper and cook on high for 2-3 minutes or until onion is opaque.
In a large bowl add the ground beef, microwaved veggies, bread crumbs, egg and french onion soup powder. Mix just until blended, do not over mix.
On a sheet of plastic wrap, place the meat mixture into a rectangle about 8" x 10". Put the spinach on the meat rectangle, sprinkle it evenly with the feta cheese. Press everything lightly into the meat.
Roll it with the help of the plastic wrap starting with the NARROW end. Seal the ends.
Place the slices of bread onto a jelly roll and place the meatloaf on the bread slices-this will help soak up any fat.
Bake uncovered until the juices run clear, about 45 minutes.
Serve with steamed broccoli
NOTE: This is a great way to get veggies into the kids.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.
