"This is a real crowd pleaser that even non spinich eaters like. I usually do this when grilling steaks, chicken or pork and let it cook down while I'm grilling."

Everyone should try this one...it is soooo addictive I could eat the whole thing! Oddly enough, I am from Knoxville, TN, yet prefer this version to the iconic 'Calhoun's' recipe. I do load it down with shredded cheddar and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or so. But then, I think 'most everything is better with shredded cheddar and baking ;)
