Now I'll be the first to admit that this isn't the prettiest dish I've ever made – but MAN does it taste good! This is one of those mouth-feel dishes, where the cream cheese and Parmesan work perfectly with the ground beef. The spinach obviously helps to add some vitamins as well as flavor!

You can absolutely prepare this dish in advance. Just add on some extra time in the oven if cooking from chilled.

How to Make a Low Carb Beef Florentine Casserole

Add a little oil to a large saucepan and add some ground beef. Brown off the meat and drain any excess liquid. Add some onion powder, paprika, and some chopped spinach – I recommend frozen spinach that's been thoroughly defrosted and drained.

Next, add some cream cheese and heavy cream. Continue to cook until the cream cheese is fully mixed in. Finally, add some shredded Parmesan and stir well. 

Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper as necessary.

Transfer everything to a baking dish (I love this one from Le Creuset!) and bake (uncovered) in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown on top.

Let cool for five minutes, then serve. 

This dish is filling enough to serve on its own, but a handful or two of salad would also be nice!

If preparing this casserole in advance, stop at the stage where you transfer to the baking dish. Cover the dish and keep in the fridge until required.
