Spinach Artichoke Casserole

Jane*in*RI's Note:

This is a variation of my usual spinach artichoke dip, with 3 boxes of spinach to make it a side dish. I made this for Thanksgiving and my family loved it. The basis of this recipe is Tiffany's dip on allrecipes. Reduce the spinach to one box to use as a dip.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach , thawed
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese , softened
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup grated romano cheese
• 2 cloves garlic , peeled and minced (I used jarred)
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ¼ teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts , drained and chopped
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Lightly grease a 2-qt casserole dish.
3. Drain thawed spinach- I wring it out in a cotton dish towel.
4. Mix all ingredients except mozzarella in a large mixing bowl.
5. Transfer mixture to baking dish, top with mozzarella.
6. Bake covered for 15 minutes, remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes, until bubbly.

Wonderful - just made this for lunch. I used 1 box of spinach and ate it as a dip with red peppers for dipping. Really delicious and filling too. Thanks for posting Jane-in-RI, your cookly ways are most impressive!

I would have rated this 4 1/2 stars if I could. We all thought the flavor was great but just too rich and thick. I used 1 box of spinach as directed for a dip and only 1/2 of the mayo mixture and it was still too rich. I would definitely make this again but add some....I don't know what... maybe light sour cream or skim milk to cut the richness? Thanks for posting!
