Inside Out Ravioli

This is a great dish to make for kids and/or the freezer!!!!!

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-10 ounce package of frozen chopped spinach
1-15 ounce jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1-8 ounce can of tomato sauce
1-6 ounce can of tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper
1-8 ounce package of shell pasta, cooked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use reduced fat)
1/2 cup of bread crumbs, plain
2 eggs, beaten

In a saute pan cook the first 3 ingredients, using the olive oil.  Cook the spinach according to the package instructions, drain the spinach and set aside, reserve the liquid from the spinach.  Add water the the liquid to make up 1 cup.  Stir spinach and the next 5 ingredients in a large pan, then add the ground beef mixture and saute for 10 minutes.

Then in a large mixing bowl combine the hot mixture to the remaining ingredients and then spread in a 13x9 baking dish.  Top with a little more cheese if desired.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and bubbly.

Enjoy!!!!
