Ingredients

• 20 oz Frozen chopped spinach
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it in a microwave-safe bowl for 5–7 minutes or until fully defrosted. Drain and squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Stir the drained spinach into the mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Transfer the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top. If using breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping, mix them with the melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Easy Spinach Casserole!
