Chef Tyler Florence's "crazy good" meal

The other day I was watching "The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Crazy Good" on the Food Network. I came across Chef Tyler Florence's favorite dish at Marin Joe's in Corte Madera, California called the "Marin Joe's Special." The dish consists of caramelized onions, hamburger, spinach, and egg. I decided to make it for my family tonight and it was awesome! I altered the recipe just a little bit...

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, sliced thinly

1.5 lbs ground beef

2 (9oz) bags fresh spinach, cooked and chopped

2 large eggs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 stick butter

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Heat 1 T olive oil in non-stick skillet. Add onions, cook until translucent. Add hamburger meat and garlic, saute until cooked through. While meat is browning, salt a pot of boiling water, add spinach. (After spinach is cooked, shock in cold water then drain and squeeze off the excess moisture)

2. Add spinach to hamburger mixture, combine ingredients. Then crack two eggs into mixture and scramble quickly with a pair of tongs.

3. Add Parmesan cheese, onion powder, and butter to mixture. Stir until combined.

*Tips/Comments - Don't be afraid of the eggs in this dish. They act more as a binder and add a depth of flavor... They won't turn out like your regular breakfast scrambled eggs. Don't forget to salt every step of the way; salt the onions, then salt the hamburger. I also used unsalted butter just for the butter flavor but it is really up to you how much salt you want to add. Or you can just omit the butter all together if you want to keep it a little healthy. Also, depending on the fat content of your ground beef, you may need to drain off excess grease.
