Ingredients
2 (10 oz) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Thaw spinach completely and squeeze out all excess moisture.
3. In a large bowl, combine mushroom soup, sour cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
4. Add drained spinach and chopped onion, if using, and mix until evenly incorporated.
5. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
6. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese, Parmesan, and optional breadcrumbs on top.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
8. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Thoroughly draining the spinach is essential to avoid excess water in the casserole.
You can make this dish a day ahead and bake it when needed—just store it covered in the fridge.
For a richer flavor, try using a blend of cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack.
