Steps:
- Thaw the spinach (microwave "defrost" setting, or in a sieve under cool running water), squeeze out the extra water, set aside in the sieve to finish draining.
- Beat the eggs, shred the cheese, combine, set aside.
- Mince the onions, slice the mushrooms, or use already-sliced criminis (life is too short to slice mushrooms! IMO).
- In a medium saute pan, on med-high heat, heat half of the chicken broth, add the onions and bring to a simmer. Allow the broth to nearly cook away, while the onions become brown. Watch it - don't let it burn. As the broth simmers away, add the remaining broth and the mushrooms. Lower the heat as needed to maintain a low simmer. Give the onion/mushroom/broth mixture a stir, and when just a bit of broth is left, remove the saute pan from the heat.
- Combine all ingredients in a baking pan and put in the oven, at 325 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes.
- VERY IMPORTANT: be sure to use already-cooked rice.
- (About cooking the rice ahead - I make a large-ish batch of it, and freeze it in smaller containers; it reheats pretty well in the microwave or skillet.).

SPINACH AND RICE CASSEROLE
I cut this out of either a copy of Light and Tasty or Simple and Delicious years ago. We enjoy this with simple roasted meat, but I can eat it on its own as a main dish.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole.
- Don't overcook the rice. Brown rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight chew to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a flavorful cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the casserole. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will give the casserole a more robust flavor, while a milder cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack will produce a more subtle flavor.
- Season the casserole well. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to the casserole. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Brown rice and spinach casserole is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of healthy ingredients and flavorful cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
