My kids really love spinach, which makes this mom oh so happy.  We add it in dishes like pasta or rice, sauté it and shhh... we've even fried it! It was a mess, but spinach chips are really good y'all...  Anyways, this is a great take on creamed spinach! The breadcrumbs and creole cream cheese really add a little something to it. 


Ingredients: 

  • 2 bags of frozen chopped spinach 

  • 8oz creole cream cheese (if you can not find this locally, mascarpone works well)

  • 8oz cream cheese 

  • 1/4 tsp slap ya mama cajun seasoning 

  • salt and pepper to taste 

  • 1 stick butter 

  • 3/4 cups Italian bread crumbs 


Directions: 

  • Cook the spinach according to the package (usually the microwave) 

  • Squeeze it dry 

  • Melt 1/2 stick butter in pan and add the spinach 

  • Sauté it and add the slap ya mama, salt and pepper 

  • Taste test it to make sure you have enough salt 

  • Add the creole cream cheese 

  • Cube up and add the cream cheese 

  • Once it is all melted pour it into a baking dish 

 

  • Melt the other 1/2 stick butter and add the bread crumbs 

  • Mix well until it is all coated- you may need to add more butter 

  • Pour on top of the spinach in the baking dish- covering it all 

  • Bake for about 20 minutes on 350, or until breadcrumbs are golden
