Sensational Spinach Pie
"This is a really yummy recipe - it has my favorites - spinach and cheese! It is a very filling meal. I cannot remember where I got the original recipe from, but have been making it for years. It is hard for me to just eat one piece! I use Owen's brand Italian sausage which is packaged like breakfast sausage; if you use regular Itialian sausage, remove casings, crumble and cook. I also have been unable to find Herbed Soft Cream cheese, so have been substituting the Garlic&/onion."

Very good. I omitted the sausage and also added 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 small minced onion because I couldn't find the herb cream cheese. I also doubled the amount of hot pepper sauce. I think this would make a great filling for stuffed shells or manicotti.

I am a surgical nurse in Pearland, Texas mother of three grown boys, recently married to a man with two daughters, one age 13 and one age 21.
<br>I enjoy cooking and trying new things - I am always on Zaar looking for new things to try! My boys have always been used to new tries in the kitchen - both the failures and the successes. My husband was more of a tried and true cook, but has really gotten into trying my kitchen experiments and is having fun doing the same with his grilling.
