[NAGDU] Joe's Special recipe from GDB

[shirley.koda at frontier.com]

This is a recipe I got from a mailing list I was on many years ago.  It is not the one from GDB. You may also find Joe's Special in some coffee shops in the West.


One-half  cup chopped onions  (optional)
1 clove garlic (optional)
2 teaspoons olive oil
 9 or 10-ounce package frozen spinach
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning mix   (If you haven't tried it you buy it in the store in the spice section it is also optional.
4 eggs


I usually get the spinach and eggs ready before I start browning the ground beef.

Place the block of frozen spinach in a strainer. Let it thaw.  When it has thawed, press the spinach through the strainer until all the water is gone. I use Green Giant spinach but any brand will work. Be sure all the liquid is our of the spinach. I have found it easier to cook this recipe with frozen spinach.     
Crack 4 eggs, beat them together and set them aside.
If you want to use the onions and garlic, chop them up and brown them in the  olive oil.
After the onions and garlic have cooked a couple of minutes, add the ground beef.  Brown it over medium heat for a couple of minutes stirring frequently.
Add the Italian seasoning mix.  
Then add the frozen spinach. Stir for a couple of more minutes and then add the eggs.    
Cook for a minute or so more or until the eggs are cooked and mixed in with everything else.  
Remove from heat and serve.
