     Used spicy ground venison, nixed bottom layer of pots, only used 1 tablespoon butter on top of potatoes and it was tasty! Wasn't dry at all. Will leave out cottage cheese next time, it didn't do anything technical nor taste wise. - 2/21/13

     Very tasty!! I used canned salmon in place of the beef and added extra onions as well. My fam loved it! Also, I didn't have cottage cheese so I added a bit of hard parmesan on top of the potatoes. Nice!! Oh, also I made it ahead and just warmed it up when dinner time came around. - 7/30/08

     My husband absolutely loved it. I used instant mashed potatoes on the top only and it was great! I put in a little extra FF cottage cheese and used a little FF sour cream on my serving. A perfect way to get my spinach! - 7/22/08

     I liked this casserole a lot but I did make some changes. I cut out the butter. However, I thought it left it a little dry. I also put a lot of extra sauted onions and about 3/4 of the potatoes. To make up for the dryness, I topped my serving with low fat sour cream and LOVED it!!!!! - 5/23/08

     We LOVED this thanks for the great recipe. Although I did use Ground Turkey instead of beef, and no butter. Also i followed the previous posters advice and just put the potatos on top. It was still very tasty. My boyfried who hates spinach absolutly loved it! - 5/19/08

     Very good and easy casserole to make. My famiy enjoyed it. I didn't use the margarine and didn't miss it. I think next time I would only layer potatoes on top. I found it too filling to have potatoes on the top and the bottom. I love watching my family eat spinach and enjoying it! - 4/17/08
