Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 (12-ounce) bags fresh leaf spinach, or 8 (10-ounce) boxes of frozen spinach, chopped
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork sausage
10 stalks celery, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
5 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
1/2 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 (15-ounce can) medium whole black pitted olives

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees F.
  • Wash spinach (trim stems if using fresh bunches), and drain well. In a food processor, chop spinach to about the size of confetti. Put in colander in workable amounts to squeeze out all possible liquid.
  • Over medium heat, brown the ground beef and sausage, about 15 minutes. Add chopped celery, onion and garlic. Continue cooking until vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes. Be sure to drain all grease.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach with cooked meat and mix thoroughly. Add 1/2 cup of broth. Season the mixture with cinnamon, cloves, allspice, salt, and pepper. Add drained olives. Spoon into 2 1/2 quart casserole dish and cover with lid. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
