I made this for lunch and everyone loved it. Even those who don't care for spinach. I subsituted Garlic n Herb Cream cheese because I couldn't locate the Onion n Chive and it was fabulous. It was easy to make and very tasty.

This is FANTASTIC!!!! I made it with the garlic butter RITZ and it added so much flavor. I also used a little more cheese (extra sharp) since my family likes cheese. We just couldn't get enough of this!
