This is a favorite side dish from a local restaurant in Knoxville, TN. Almost everyone who comes in orders it to go along with their ribs. I highly recommend this dish.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The spinach was a bit overcooked and the flavors were not as flavorful as I had hoped. I probably won't be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The spinach was mushy and the cheese topping was burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.
