This is an excellent spinach casserole. However, I prepare it slightly differently. I would mix in the whole can of onion rings and make a cracker crumb topping. I melt 1/4 c. of butter and add 2/3 c. of crushed saltines, and sprinkle that over the top before baking.

I have made this for the Christmas crowd, and it serves 15 very well -- what with everything else on the buffet !! I found it to be tasty enough, with SOME pleasant crunch from the french-fried onions, but between the 2 packages of cream cheese and 2 cans of mushroom soup, thought it was somewhat cloying. "IF" I made it again, may try with reduced fat cheese, but this really needs something to lighten up the gloppy texture. There are other spinach casseroles for crowds that I suggest exploring, first.
