My family loves spinach- this was just ok-I did use leftovers as a layer in lasagna the next day & thought it was very good in that.

It was okay, I've had better and I've had worse.

This is an amazing recipe that we have already made twice. It's like a creamy, fluffy, cheesy spinach casserole. We tried it with and without fat free ingredients. Definitely tastes better with full fat, but the fat free version was still very tasty. Prep time is longer than 10 minutes, especially if you need to thaw the spinach in the microwave, then drain it.

This recipe has been a huge success! It is easy to make and is a great side dish for any meal. When someone asks you to bring a covered dish this is a great vegetable side dish to make.

WOW!!! This was absolutely delicious, yummy, tasty, good, superb, flavorful, easy, ( the list goes on!). Definitly one of the simplest delicious recipes I've made in a while! I added about 1 1/2 cups of chopped thawed broccoli. My family immensly enjoyed this addition to our Sunday dinner. My sister said, " You could just keep eating & eating this!" Kraft thanks for another wonderful easy recipe! :)
