Ingredients
- 2 packages 10 ounces each frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 cup seasoned dried bread crumbs
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Spinach
- Thoroughly thaw the frozen spinach by following the package instructions or leaving it at room temperature. Once thawed, firmly squeeze out all excess water. This step is essential to prevent the casserole from becoming watery during baking.
Combine the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, softened cream cheese, and seasoning salt. Stir the mixture until all components are evenly distributed and smooth.
Transfer to Baking Dish
- Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish. Spoon the spinach mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Add the Topping
- Sprinkle the seasoned dried bread crumbs evenly over the surface of the spinach mixture. This will create a crispy and flavorful topping.
Bake the Casserole
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Serve
- Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this classic and comforting side dish alongside your favorite entrees.
