EASY-CHEESY SPINACH CASSEROLE



Easy-Cheesy Spinach Casserole image

It doesn't get much easier than this... no sautéing and hardly any chopping - everything is cooked in one dish before putting in the oven (I even bake it in my toaster over). A great way to use up spinach that's been in the fridge for a while. Use whole-wheat pasta for extra nutrients. You could probably sub rice for the pasta. Add a dash of hot sauce to jazz it up a bit. Measurements and cooking times are approximate.

2 tablespoons cream cheese
4 eggs
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional)

EASY CREAMY SPINACH CASSEROLE



Easy Creamy Spinach Casserole image

This is so simple to make! I always triple the recipe because we will have it the next day (tastes better) and I freeze the other part. I love French's French Fried Onions so I will add a little more than the recipe calls for. You could also substitute the fried onions with bacon bits. This recipe is creamy and very filling....

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed (squeeze out excess water)
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter, melted
1 1/3 c shredded (not grated) parmesan cheese - (put aside 3 tbsp for topping)
6 oz french's french fried onions - (put aside enough to cover casserole for the last few minutes of cooking time).

Steps:

  • 1. Very simple - mix all ingredients in a greased casserole dish except the 3 tbsp of shredded Parmesan (I use my hands because it really blends it well). Once that is mixed, sprinkle remaining 3 tbsp of shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
  • 2. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until it is bubbly and the cheese is a golden color (longer if you are doubling the recipe).
  • 3. Cover casserole with the remaining french fried onions and bake for a few minutes until they are golden brown. Enjoy!!! :-)

Tips:

  • Fresh spinach is best: If you can, use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before adding it to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach wilts quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should be just tender, not mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese works well.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the casserole to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as nutmeg, thyme, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: This casserole is best served immediately after it is baked. The cheese will be gooey and the spinach will be tender.

Conclusion:

Spinach casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It can be made with fresh or frozen spinach, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. This casserole is also a good source of calcium and protein. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this spinach casserole a try!
