This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cream cheese.

I followed the recipe exactly and my casserole turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach and artichokes. It's also a really versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
