Monday
Casual Joe ----------
Brown and crumble some ground beef with chopped onions and garlic (about an onion to a pound or a bit more of beef.) Pour off the excess grease,stir in a package of chopped spinach, cooked and well drained. Then stir in 3 or 4 beaten eggs, and stir until eggs are set. I don't even like spinach and I love this dish!
