Piping Hot Spinach Rice Casserole Makes For A Delightful Dinner

My sons love devouring spinach in every meal that has them on the menu. It’s a bit surprising that they’re fond of such a vegetable, but I have no complaints. There are few kids who appreciate the taste of vegetables at such an age, and it’s a blessing in disguise for me and my husband. This spinach rice casserole is a hit in our family because of that. We love the combination of rice and spinach baked into perfection with cheese. So I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as my family did.

Check out what our friends from Shockingly Delicious have to say about the recipe:

“Heritage recipe: Simple casserole with spinach, rice and cheese is much more than the sum of its parts.”

It’s definitely more than just a simple casserole. It makes my family happy and feel satisfied- that alone is a bonus. And it’s also a heart casserole meal that will remind you of your childhood days for sure.
