My mother-in-law made this all the time and even my 7 year old would eat it. Pretty impressive for spinach! I've changed up a few things though by adding more salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. I also like to use 2 bags of pre-washed fresh spinach instead of frozen. And, I tried it in the crock pot last week and it was sooo simple!
