Scalloped Spinach

Submitted by Impera_Magna

"My great-aunt made this for lunch when I was visiting and I loved it. It was not like anything else I'd had (was only in my 20s at the time) and, fortunately, she willingly shared her recipe. I haven't tried it w/ fresh spinach but I think it would be even better. (Recipe is easily doubled) EDITED TO ADD: I made this using parmesan cheese for a holiday dinner and loved it. Also left off the bread crumbs and didn't miss them a bit!"

I'm not sure I drained my spinach enough, because mine turned out extremely wet. It also took longer to cook than I expected, even at 400 degrees. I used a mixture of cheeses and didn't use the breadcrumb topping.

I'll not rate this because although it was good, it just wasn't to our taste. And taste is certainly a personal thing!

Amazing! I first found this recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook. I typically use sharp cheddar cheese, extra pepper, and a little less salt. I did notice that certain brands of spinach don't need draining; to prevent those batches from drying out while baking, I sometimes cover the dish while baking or toss in some extra milk. Thanks for posting!

Made as directed except I added 1 clove of minced garlic & used cheddar cheese as that is what I had on hand. I think mine overbaked a little tho, cuz it was drier than I expected. DH loved it tho and I will absolutely make it again!
