CHEESY CREAMED SPINACH CASSEROLE



Cheesy Creamed Spinach Casserole image

I found this recipe in our local grocery store's (Hannaford) sale circular. I plan on making this as one of my side dishes on Easter Sunday so posting on Zaar for safe keeping. The only changes I will make with the recipe is in place of the canned spinach, I will be using 2 10 oz. boxes of frozen chopped spinach that I will defrost and squeeze dry. I will probably also double the recipe because we are all spinach lovers here.
