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
4 ounces portobella mushroom caps
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 pound ground beef
1 cup soft breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 tablespoons tomato paste, divided
directions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. With a knife or a tsp., gently scape away the gills (the black portion underneath the caps) from the mushroom caps.
Place mushrooms in food processor with garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper and salt and process until finely chopped but not pasty. Transfer mushroom mixture into a large bowl; combine with beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce and all but 2 tbsp. tomato paste. Gently press the mixture evenly into an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan, forming a rounded loaf. Spread remaining tomato paste over top (Can be made ahead. Cover and refrigerate over night).
Bake, uncovered, 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer inserted in center of loaf registers 180 degrees F. Let meatloaf stand 10 minutes, then carefully unmold onto a cutting board and slice.

Loved the flavor of this meatloaf! The texture was crumbly though so it was hard to slice. I may not have let it sit long enough before attempting to slice. I still rated it 5 stars since it really was one of the more tasty meatloaf recipes we've tried!
