This recipe is a super simple side. I adore it and love it all the time but definitely on Thanksgiving.
The original recipe calls for two cups of cheese, two cans of cream of celery soup, and a half cup of melted butter. I have a tropical vacation coming up in less than a month and my ass doesn't need to be any fatter, so I made a lighter version. I'll present both.
Regular Version
2 cans cream of celery soup
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup onion
3 cups croutons
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 boxes of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, water squeezed out
2 eggs, beaten
Light version
Cream of soup substitute (one of the directions on the right is one can, so two of that, you can google this to come up with your own if you don't like this mix)
1/2 cup onion
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup shredded cheese (your choice, I used cheddar)
2.5 cups of croutons
2 boxes of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, water squeezed out
1 egg, beaten
Directions
If you are using cream of soup substitute, follow directions. Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit before adding to other ingredients.
Mix everything together, put it in a greased 13x9 casserole dish, and cook in a pre-heated 375 oven for 40 minutes. You can halve this and make it in an 8x8 as well.
