My 93-year-old Grandma Wenner (still alive and kickin’) always used to make her spinach casserole for family dinners, and we kids marveled at how it actually made us like spinach.

Now that I’m a grownup (and expected to bring a dish to family dinners), Grandma suggested I make her “Popeye’s Special.” It’s super easy, quick, and still makes spinach taste delish!

Grandma’s Spinach Casserole

Ingredients:

  • Three 10-ounce packages of frozen chopped spinach (or feel free to chop up some fresh spinach—just takes a little more time)
  • One package of dry onion soup mix
  • One cup of sour cream (or more, if you like)
  • One can of bread crumbs

  1. Dang, Sue, that sounds really good. I’ll have to try it out soon.

  2. yum, that sounds good! Think it’ll work with FF sour cream?

  3. Ok, I am not a spinach fan unless it’s in salad…personally, I just can’t stand the texture of it. Too slimy! But I bought all the ingredients for this recipe at the store yesterday, and I will be giving it a go. I’ll let you know how it turns out!

  4. You can swap in fat-free sour cream, no problem. Still tastes yum.
