Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups bowtie pasta
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup grape juice
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, and brown it, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6‑8 minutes; drain excess fat.
  2. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker and add the uncooked bowtie pasta, fresh spinach, cream of mushroom soup, grape juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper; stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4‑5 hours (or on high for 2‑3 hours) until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  4. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheese, replace the lid, and let it melt into a glossy, creamy coating.
  5. Give the casserole a final stir, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot straight from the slow cooker.
