Other than chopping the spinach, I followed the recipe & we were delighted with this wonderful tasting casserole! Even reheated, the leftovers were satisfying! I'm usually not that fond of cooked spinach, but it really did work in this! Thanks for several great meals! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]
