Quite good! This one's a keeper. I only had about an ounce of sour cream on hand, but the recipe was still good. However, with the full 8 ounces I'm sure it will be even better. This is an easy one dish meal! I'm sure this would also be good with chicken.

What a waste of my time! This green goop lacked sufficient noodles to hold together (I would double or triple the amount suggested if I were to make it again, which I'm not) I would have rated this recipe at less than one star (say ZERO stars or less) if I could. Never again!

We enjoyed this for dinner tonight. It is very tasty and filling. I couldn't find cream of mushroom soup, so used cream of potato instead. I sauteed some fresh mushrooms with the onion so as not to miss out on that flavor. The spinach especially was good, and I always feel virtuous when eating spinach. Thank you for the recipe.
