Creamy Beef and Spinach Skillet with Mushrooms

Instructions

1. 1

   In a 10-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

2. 2

   Add the thawed and drained spinach, drained mushrooms, garlic salt, and dried basil to the skillet. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir the shredded cheese into the milk mixture until melted and well combined. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet, and stir to coat everything evenly.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve the Creamy Beef and Spinach Skillet with biscuits, if desired.
