Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the vegetables

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

2
Sauté the lamb

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

3
Add vegetables and spices

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

4
Add spinach and tomatoes

Roughly chop the fresh spinach and add it to the skillet along with the diced tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

5
Transfer mixture to baking dish

Transfer the lamb and spinach mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

6
Prepare the cheese sauce

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese until melted.

7
Pour sauce over the lamb mixture

Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the lamb and spinach mixture in the baking dish.

8
Bake the casserole

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

9
Serve

Remove the lamb and spinach bake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Serve hot with a side salad or your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
