Brown beef in oil and butter over medium heat; add onion, potatoes and garlic.
Add salt at beginning and rest of spices at end.
Let cool and drain off oil and toss in Feta cheese.
Lay 1/4 package phyllo in 8-inch square (or I use an 11 x 7 1/2 x 1 3/4-inch baking dish) oiling between layers.
Place meat mixture on top of phyllo, then spread spinach on top.
Then follow with Egg Custard.
Fold overlapping phyllo over top and dust with cinnamon and drizzle on butter.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 45 minutes to an hour.
Let sit for a time before cutting.
