"This recipe is an attempt to copy a wonderful sidedish that is served in one of my favorite Austin restaurants. After several experiments I believe my wife and I have succeeded in creating an exact copy. If you happen to be in Austin Texas stop by Stubb's and try theirs, then try mine and let me know what you think."

Added heaped spoonful of mariated roasted peppers drained, personal taste for me, LOVED there was no eggs in it to see! Mased with back end of a fork today! Am glad this recipe came my way! THANKS! PS Used canned spinach 410 grams, TRUE! Took moisture out as much as could with paper towels too! Moist and delicious, used low fat cream, This recipe is really a dream!

This was easy and quick to assemble. I added 1/2 cup grated cheese. It was very creamy and rich, but my husband didn't like it. Thank you for posting.

I liked it a lot. I added a 1/2 cup parm. cheese and went a little lighter on the peppers.

This came out very dry. I added about 1/2 cup milk to moisten. Next time I will not squeeze so much. Had a good flavor but needed more garlic. Close to Stubbs but not quite there yet!
