3/4 lb fresh ground chorizo sausage
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Steps:

In a large skillet cook chorizo over medium heat about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Use a wooden spoon to crumble up the meat as it cooks. Remove from heat and drain off any rendered fat.

Transfer mixture to a greased 2-quart baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, in a 375° F oven for 35 minutes or until heated through.
