Cheesy Spinach Bake

Baked spinach might not be the first recipe that comes to mind when you're dreaming up uses for Popeye's favorite leafy greens. Creamed spinach and spinach quiche are two more common types of spinach side dishes. But we think learning how to make this delicious baked spinach recipe is more than worth your time. Parmesan and Cheddar cheese pack this recipe full of irresistible flavor, and we love the texture of the bake compared to creamed spinach. A spinach bake is never too soupy or too wilty. Every bite is balanced and bursting with flavor. Your family will be thrilled with this new addition to dinner! Learn more from the author (and a mom!) below.
