CHEESY CREAMED SPINACH CASSEROLE



Cheesy Creamed Spinach Casserole image

I found this recipe in our local grocery store's (Hannaford) sale circular. I plan on making this as one of my side dishes on Easter Sunday so posting on Zaar for safe keeping. The only changes I will make with the recipe is in place of the canned spinach, I will be using 2 10 oz. boxes of frozen chopped spinach that I will defrost and squeeze dry. I will probably also double the recipe because we are all spinach lovers here.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Spinach: Choose vibrant, dark green spinach leaves for the best flavor and texture in your casserole.
  • Thoroughly Clean the Spinach: Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. This step ensures a clean and enjoyable casserole.
  • Blanch and Shock the Spinach: Blanching the spinach in boiling water helps retain its color and nutrients. Immediately shocking it in ice water stops the cooking process, preserving the vibrant green color.
  • Squeeze Out Excess Water: After blanching and shocking, use a salad spinner or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the spinach. This prevents a watery casserole.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and creamy milk for the best results. Fresh ingredients elevate the overall taste and texture of the casserole.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Keep an eye on the cooking time to avoid overcooked spinach. Overcooking can result in a mushy texture and loss of nutrients.
  • Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. These basic seasonings enhance the natural flavors of the spinach and other ingredients.
