My Sister’s Famous Creamy Spinach Casserole – a Holiday Tradition

Some dishes are so special that you only get to enjoy them a couple of times a year.  In our family, my mom’s famous Spinach Casserole is the coveted, waited upon side dish that is only served at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Every year since I can remember, my mom has always made Spinach Casserole.  Most families are familiar with the famous Green Bean Casserole, but we do spinach.  This recipe is somewhat similar to Green Bean Casserole, but in my biased opinion, it’s much better!  In fact, it’s so much better that over the years we have had to make at least two pans of this family delicacy!

1. Gather your ingredients.
2. On low-speed, mix cream cheese and cream of mushroom soup.
3. Drain cooked spinach in a strainer to remove excess liquid (let spinach cool for a few minutes, first).
4. Add spinach and continue to mix.
5. Add half of the French fried onions and gently mix.
6. Spread mixture in a 9 x 13 glass pan.
7. Spinach Casserole in the oven looking golden and delicious!

The perfect side dish to a comfort food dinner or a special holiday!
