Directions

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Lightly coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Spinach

• Make sure the spinach is fully thawed.
• Remove as much moisture as possible by squeezing it with your hands or pressing it in a clean kitchen towel. Excess water can make the casserole watery.

• Add the spinach, stirring well and separating any large clumps.

4. Incorporate the Cheese

• Stir in ¾ cup of the shredded cheese.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly across the top.

5. Bake

• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned and bubbling.
• A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.

6. Rest and Serve

• Allow the casserole to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
• Slice into portions and serve warm.

This creamy, cheesy spinach bake is proof that a handful of everyday ingredients can create a delicious and satisfying dish the whole family will enjoy.
