For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage. Feel free to add other vegetables to the meat sauce, such as chopped bell peppers or mushrooms. For a crispier topping, broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Add about 15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Experiment with different types of cheese! Provolone, parmesan, or ricotta would all be delicious additions. Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the spinach otherwise the dish will be watery.
