• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/176 degrees C and Grease and 9" X 11" casserole dish
• Cook ground beef in skillet with diced onion until browned and cooked through. Drain and set aside.
  1 ½ lbs extra lean ground beef, 2 small onions
• Slice potatoes into ¼ inch thick rounds.
  8 small - medium potatoes
• Place sliced potatoes on a plate and cover with saran wrap. Alternatively, you can simply cover it with a microwave safe cover if you don't want to use saran wrap.
• Cook in the microwave for 8 minutes. *I do this in 2 batches. but it can be done in 1 batch if the potatoes are sliced a little thinner. If you want to cook them in one batch, you’ll need to cook them for 12 minutes in the microwave.

  **BE CAREFUL when you take the saran wrap off ( if you use it) as lots of steam is released and it's HOT!
• Melt butter in separate bowl in microwave safe bowl.
  5 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• Arrange half of the potatoes in bottom of dish and drizzle with half the butter.
• In a separate medium mixing bowl, mix ½ cup grated Swiss cheese, spinach, cottage cheese, garlic, salt and egg. Then add ground beef./onion mixture and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
  3 cloves garlic, 2 -10 ounce pkgs of frozen spinach, 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon Pepper, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 2 cups Swiss cheese
• Spread the spinach and ground beef mixture over the first layer of potatoes and butter.
• Cover with remaining potatoes, drizzle with remaining 2 ½ tablespoon butter.
• Sprinkle with remaining 1 ½ cups Swiss cheese.
• Bake 40-50 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Cool for 5 minutes

Garnish
