Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thawed and squeezed dry spinach, softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the spinach mixture until evenly distributed.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and a golden crust.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set.

Notes

This cheesy spinach casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, baked fish, or a simple green salad for a complete meal. For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spinach mixture before baking.
