- Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Try using a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the casserole. This will help to bring out the flavors of the spinach and cheese.
