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).

ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup uncooked rice, not instant
1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
directions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir the water, rice, beef bouillon granules, and dry mustard into the beef mixture. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Stir in the chopped green pepper and tomato. Top evenly with the shredded cheese. Cover the skillet again and remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Serve hot.
cook's notes
You can use one can diced green chiles instead of the green bell pepper.

A good busy-night go to meal! Whole family liked it even the picky eaters.

Simple meal for busy weeknight. I've made this a couple times now varying it a little. One time instead of regular white rice I used a spanish rice mix and that turned out pretty delicious.

Give this skillet recipe a healthy update by using ground turkey (or ground chicken breast), brown rice, and fat free cheese. If you want to add more fiber to it, stir in some beans (and maybe reduce some of the meat amount) and it will make it a hearty but still healthy meal.

My kids like this a lot and I love it because it only uses one dish!

This skillet recipe has a good ratio of ingredients which yields a nice texture with decent flavor. In stead of the chopped tomato, I used a can of drained rotel tomatoes to give it a little extra zip.
