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).

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

How does this stay together without an egg?
Not all meatloaf recipes call for an egg. This is one of them. The ingredients in the Spanish rice hold it together just fine as you can see in our photo.

I usually try to avoid a lot of packaged ingredients when I am cooking but there are times you just need something quick and easy. I was intrigued by this recipe because of the addition of the Spanish rice - and the fact that the entire recipe is only three ingredients. I used a pouch of pre-cooked Spanish rice for ease. The flavor and texture was surprisingly quite good! One hour was a bit too long for the cooking time, however, and it was starting to dry out after 50 minutes. I think 45 minutes would have worked.
