This is a slight variation on a recipe I found somewhere called "Spinach Beef Bake". That recipe called for 1 1/2 pounds hamburger, 4 ounces monterey jack cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan as well as a full teaspoon of garlic powder. I used cheese that I had on hand, but will try the original recipe another time. I thought a teaspoon of garlic powder sounded like too much, but may try it next time.
