instead of the minced onion and bread crumbs I just used fried onions (put them in food processor to get bread crumb texture) DELISHIOUS!!

hello kzbhansen, delicious! we have been testing spinach recipes for the menu here at the "home" and this one is high up the ladder. Instead of minced onions we used "real" onions and grated them, used matzo meal instead of breadcrumbs and only used 1/2 the amount, & added a pinch red pepper flakes. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe, Diane :=)

This has a lot of good things going for it. It is a pretty casserole, easy to prepare, has a nice texture and terrific ingredients. However I found it to be missing some small something that would elevate it to a company dish. I do plan to play with the seasonings a bit as it has so many possibilities. Thank you for posting your recipe!!!

Who knew a box of frozen spinach could turn into something so sinfully delicious! I used 1/8 c. of fresh onion instead of the 1 1/2 tsp intant....I cooked it w/ the spinach. My kids gobbled it up! (My kids DO eat anything, but I'm very sure that you could get ANY kid to like this.) My only question is the amount of breadcrumbs.....seems way too much. I only used half of the crumb mixture. I will be making this often (I'll need to triple the recipe, though), and just cut the crumb mixture ingredients in half. Thanx for posting this recipe!

My name is Karen. I love to cook. I collect cookbooks, my favorite being ones you can get from churches or schools that have peoples personal favorites in them. Whenever I visit out of state I try to find 1-2 of these kinds of cookbooks. My hobbies are painting, cross stitch, scrapbooking and spending time with my 3 children. Megan 21 years old, Jeremy 16 Years old, and Clayton 8 years old. People love my pizza Swirls. I love all foods. I love to try complicated recipes for fun and I make alot of my own breads. My kids love to help me cook I think its a great time to get to communicate with our kids especially when life can get so crazy with school and such, this is a great habit we have gotten into, cooking and chatting LOL. We now have a smoothie night where we make an assortment of smoothies as a dessert, and on occasion we have had smoothies for dinner but that is a rare occasion. Its kids choice and they have fun on recipezaar because I have dedicated a cookbook just to smoothies. My daughter is getting creative in her smoothie endeavors and coming up with some incredible ideas! In Jan 09 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and have just began the treatments to get myself back up to speed. *UPDATE* November 2009 I have finished my radiation and chemotherapy and am on the mend. Chemo caused nerve damage in my leg so I am unable to walk without a cane and a brace but otherwise doing great!!!!!!!! <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=2">Cooking Q & A Forum Host</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=27">Desserts Forum Host</a></li> In september of 2009, The Pink ribbon tour came through Wickenburg.
