Creamed Spinach Casserole

While I'm not sure I would call this a creamed spinach, it is a very good casserole. I made a double recipe, but cut back on the amount of butter it calls for due to what other reviewers had said. I cut back by two tablespoons (what would have been one tablespoon had I not doubled the recipe), but that was still a too much butter. So while I would definitely make this again, I would cut back on the butter even further. I also added a bit of garlic powder to the mixture. I do agree with the one reviewer that this is even better if you let it sit for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven - the flavor is just better if it isn't piping hot. And finally, I cooked mine in a 9x13 dish, which caused me to have to add about 15 minutes to the baking time for it to come out correctly. Otherwise, I will definitely be making this one again.

This was very good and easy to make. I microwaved the spinach, which omitted the need to drain, and dirty a pan. I made it for two helpings, which only requires one box of spinach, and cooked it in one small casserole dish. As a side dish, it was more like 4 servings.

Excellent recipe! Followed the recipe exactly. The only thing I would do differently next time is add a little more bread crumbs and butter over the top, but otherwise, very very very good!

Get yourself an inexpensive potato ricer. It's PERFECT for getting all of the excess water out of the thawed spinach. Also works great for shredded zucchini recipes. I used 3 eggs and only two TBS of butter along with crushed whole wheat crackers and a touch of parm for the topping. I did add some onion powder, garlic powder and a pinch of red pepper. I put it all in a 9" glass pie plate sprayed with pam. I cook it for 30minutes. Comes out perfect every time. I follow the South Beach diet and this is perfect for breakfast or as your side vegetable with dinner.

Delicious! I made this as a side dish to serve 8 for Thanksgiving dinner. Even my picky children (ages 7,4, and 2) liked it. Because I made it in a larger quantity, I baked it in a 9x13" pyrex dish and had to cook it about 10 minutes longer. It was very buttery, and I think I will reduce the butter by at half next time. Thanks for the quick and easy recipe.

I loved it!

Very good. I've made this several times and it always turns out good. You can change out the cheese if you don't have cheddar. I also used panko bread crumbs once and added parmesan cheese and it turned out yummy.

This was delicious and got a "Fantastic!" from my hubby. I used Panko for the topping.

Thanks for the idea! I used a bag of spinach, no butter and about 1/2 the milk & bread crumbs. I wanted to cut out some of the fat. This was yummy and super easy. I microwaved the spinach to cook it for 3 minutes, then added all the ingredients covered the container & cooked it in the oven. Talk about an easy, one-dish recipe! Thanks!

This dish tasted much better 15 minutes after taken out of oven, the flavor just seemed better when not piping hot.I used less butter, added parm cheese cheese to bread crumb topping. I'm not sure I would call it a creamed dish, but it was good.

delicious, but TOO much butter. Next time I will use only 2 tbs of butter. Additionally I made it with fresh spinach - same process. terrific!

This was pretty good but needed a little more salt and pepper. Also want to look at making it a little more creamy...maybe add more milk and cheese.

Being that I've been working on the weekends, Rob has been doing the cooking and made this Saturday night. This recipe has good bones but it really needed something else. I found it to be bland which I believe a few more seasonings would have helped that out. Honestly, If I hadn't seen the package of cheese in the fridge, I wouldn't have known it was even in the dish. The topping was good but the spinach itself needed to be creamier and more flavorful. This dish definitely has potential so next time I'll be giving it a shot. Thank you Jane!

This was OK. Not sure I'll make again.

This is awesome. I used frozen spinach that I squeezed after thawing. I only used 7 TBS butter total and probably could be cut down to 5 to save on fat. I also omitted the bread crumb and just crushed Town House crackers on top of it 5 minutes before taking it out of the oven. I sprinkled some garlic powder in the mixture as well.

I found this recipe to be very easy to make. I substituted feta cheese for the cheddar cheese and it came out lovely.

I was a little dissapointed with this recipe. I was looking for a true creamed spinach. This was more like a crustless quiche. It was good for what it was, but, the title is a little deceiving to me - the eggs should have clued me in though! Pretty flavorful, but, I probably won't make again.

I really did not like this. I followed the recipe, except for using fresh spinach. I will not be making this again. There was a taste to this that I couldn't put my finger on.

Really yummy! Like another reviewer, I microwaved the spinach. I also added garlic powder and may actually use fresh garlic next time--it added a nice flavor. Also, mine came out a bit too buttery around the edges, so I may just spray the breadcrumbs with butter spray next time. But this was super easy and really tasty!

Tasty.

Very yummy! I always tweak a recipe so I added a little bit of french fried onions because I love that onion taste. Very tasty.

I used 2 packs frozen spinach. Cooked it in the microwave then squezzed it out to drain. Only used aboout 1 tablespoon butter. So So yummy!! The whole dish was eaten!

I really thought this would be good by the sound of it and after reading so many reviews. Both my husband and I are big spinach fans so I figured this would be a yummy recipe to try. I did not alter the recipe in any way. We both absolutely hated it. We ened up throwing it out and went out to eat that night. Its just a blah tastless mush that is way too buttery.

This was delicious! I used only two tbs of butter in the recipe. I didnt have bread crumbs. So I used crushed wheat crackers as suggested, mixed with butter instead. I also added some french fried onion rings and cheddar to the topping.

My husband thought this was the best way to eat spinach!

This was so good! I'm not a big fan of spinach, but we had 2 bags in our freezer that I needed to use up. I found this recipe and WOW! I will be making this often-there were no leftovers-even my 8 year old ate some!

Sorry, but, I thought this was bland & tasteless. The crumbs were tasty...but the rest needs work.

Taste was okay, weird consistency.

I accidentally mixed the bread crumbs and butter in with the spinach mixture and it still tasted great! Very easy recipe too!

i thought this was good as i am not a spinach lover at all! I did add parmesian cheese after I served it which added a little zest and I will make this again. Thanks for the recipe

I thought it was very good and my picky children loved it. Very simple. Thanks

i scaled this down to serve 2. i added a few dashes of hot sauce. as a side i think it would have been enough for 4. the hubs wished the topping would have been a little more crispy. i will make this again(no cream of soups!). i may reduce the amount of butter and broil it at the end. i will also add even more hot sauce. thanks for an easy recipe.

I followed this recipe just like it said. AWESOME... what a great way to eat spinach.

I really don't like cooked spinach but really liked this. It tasted like a touch of butter and light and fluffy because of the egg mixture.

I made this for my daughters Birthday Dinner. She loved it and so did the rest of the family. Very good! Thanks!

Excellent recipe- exactly what I was looking for. I actually had to wing it on the measurements because my computer froze mid-recipe and I hadn't printed it. Whatever I threw together sure tasted delicious, homemade and perfectly old-fashioned. I think I'll add it to my holiday menu. Great vegetarian filler dish for non-meat eaters and packed with iron! Thanks Jane!

I had frozen chard from the garden last fall, used that, drained well. Doubled recipe, did not use bread. Really tasty blend of ingredients that complement the greens.

Yum, yum! I made this tonight for dinner and even my veggie-hating 3 year old nibbled on a piece. I made it as specified but with half the butter and it was delicious. I would make it again for sure, but perhaps double the recipe so as to fill a shallow baking dish. A great way to eat spinach and very easy to make.

Yum, very easy and was a huge hit this past Thanksgiving. I would cut back on the butter and breadcrumb topping next time.

tried add more salt and spicy pepper

This made a fantastic side dish - it both looked and tasted great! I served it with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies and pork chops in a mushroom sauce. I made couple small changes - I added some very thinly sliced red pepper and crumbled cooked bacon. Definitely cut down on the butter/margarine though, I would recommend that you only use the melted butter/margarine portion that is mixed with the bread crumbs.

Super easy & yummy! I didn't have bread crumbs so instead of adding them with the butter I put a little extra cheese on top.

As a stereotypical 'starving college student', I found this to be a super quick and easy dinner to make on the fly. What's great about it is it uses up the most basic stuff that just about anyone has lying around in the fridge; eggs, milk, cheese, spinach (we use fresh leaves, always have them on hand for sandwhiches), etc. It's pretty easy to experiment and customize too. Try adding frozen french fries, bits of ham, black olives, etc.

Doubled recipe, except for the butter and breadcrumbs. Added garlic powder on top. Very flavorful! Entire familiy enjoyed.

This was really great - a good way to get good veggie. I made it a little lighter - I used Sargento's light 4 cheese Mexican cheese, light margarine and Skim Milk. Taste was still very good and I had no problem with the mixture setting up. Also, I used Panko crumbs and pressed into mixture a little. Ended up with a nice flavor and a little crunch.

This was great! Even the adult kids liked it!!

This was tasty, and I'm glad to have a new veggie side dish in my arsenal. I reduced the butter to 2 tbsp in the casserole and still used 1 tbsp with the bread crumbs. I also used 2% milk cheddar. Otherwise I followed the directions exactly, and it turned out great. Not at all watery, very crispy topping, yum!

We loved this! My husband, myself and my 15 months old daughter cleaned this dish out in one sitting. We will make this again & again, except double the recipe!

This was excellent! I made a couple of changes: I added 3/4 cups of cheese - mozzarella and cheddar - and added a couple of shakes of cayenne pepper. The bread crumb topping was crispy and very good - the left overs were excellent too!

Great recipe! I added about a cup of frozen cut broccoli and increased the milk by 1/8 cup. It not only enhances the nutritional value, but adds a nice flavor and texture as well...DELICIOUS!

I think this recipe is great. I like a more subtle cheese flavor w/ it so i use cream cheese, munster, provolone, jack some combination of those. It goes great with Turkey for thanksgiving dinner, ham for xmas dinner. Nice thing is you can make a few days in advance and then just reheat in the oven. Stays perfect and doesn't get runny.

All I have to say is WOW! Is it possible that spinach casserole can be this good??? I used half the butter, added garlic powder, and replace the bread crumbs with french fried onions. I will be making this all the time!

This was very easy to make and it was one of my best side dishes for Easter dinner. I chopped and placed fresh spinach in a freezer bag then placed freezer bag with spinach in boiling water for 5 minutes to steam--therefor, eliminating having to drain. I poured the cooked spinach in a bowl and followed direction for the recipe. As another reviewer mentioned, I added parmesean cheese to the bread crumb topping. My family loved it. This is definitely a KEEPER!

I was craving creamed spinach to go with spaghetti. This was perfect. I made it with parmesan cheese instead of cheddar and used 16 ounces of frozen spinach. This will become a new favorite!

Not difficult to make. Doubled the recipe to serve more. Way too much butter and not enough flavour. I would cut the butter in half and add garlic and some parmesan cheese to start with. I love the idea, so I will keep playing around with it to see if I can adjust it to my taste. Thanks!

We did not like this at all! I was shocked, because it sounded delish! It was bland, tasteless, and uninspired. And because the recipe said it was two servings, I doubled the recipe and ended up with a MASSIVE amount of something we did not like! The only modification I made was adding some chopped vidalias. I could not recommend this recipe.

Very good - next time I will add more cheese, but would not change anything else. Will be making this again. Thanks Jane for sharing.

Terrific recipe, especially for anyone who is going LOW CARB! But, as usual, I added my own twists, as I needed to rid my fridge of items that were going bad. First, I used about 5 eggs and 3/4 cup half and half (that's all I had), then added more shredded sharp cheddar, extra parmesan, sauteed some onions and portobellos with garlic, tossed in some chopped red and yellow peppers, and finally, cooked and crumbled a package of bacon and added it to the mixture. Since we're low carb here, I omitted the bread crumbs and topped with cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Yes, I added to the calorie and fat content here, but it's sinfully delicious! Sidenote: before tasting this recipe, my BF truly despised spinach. This has since changed his mind and he requests it regularly!
