A family favorite, you may increase the cheese amounts if desired I also add in cayenne pepper to the creamed mixture.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

This casserole was a great way to use up leftover spinach. It was also a hit with my kids, who are usually picky eaters.

Not a fan of spinach, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The cheese and breadcrumb topping were especially tasty.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

Easy to make and very tasty. I added a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder to give it a little extra flavor.
