Ingredients

* 2 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 cup(s) chopped onion
* 12 ounce(s) 93%-lean ground beef
* 2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon(s) tomato paste
* 1 cup(s) reduced-sodium beef broth
* 6 ounce(s) baby spinach, chopped
* 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
* 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
* 2 package(s) (12-ounce) frozen winter squash puree, thawed
* 1/3 cup(s) finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, stir in beef, flour, and tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until the beef is mostly browned, about 3 minutes. Add broth, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broth is the consistency of thick gravy, about 4 minutes. Stir in spinach, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; cook until the spinach is just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
3. Place squash in a fine-mesh sieve and gently press on it to extract excess liquid. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Divide the meat mixture among four 10-ounce broiler-safe ramekins. Top each with about 1/2 cup of the squash. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
4. Broil until heated through and bubbling around the edges, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and broil until it is just melted, about 3 minutes more.
