My daughter often serves this cheese and spinach blend at church suppers. Even people who don't usually eat spinach like this flavorful dish once they try it. There are never any leftovers. —Frances Moore, Decatur, Illinois

Cheesy Spinach

4% cottage cheese

Velveeta

eggs,

butter, cubed

all-purpose flour

salt

I made the changes suggested by using Ricotta cheese in place of the cottage cheese and I used Mexican Blend Shredded cheese since that is what I had on hand.  I also added 1/2 finely diced red onion and 1 Tablespoon minced garlic - for a bit more flavor.  I  took ctower50's recommendation and followed her cooking temps and time.  This dish came out great with my few tweaks and the other reviews suggestions.  Will definitely make it again.

We have made a very similar recipe for 40 years.  The only difference is the cheese.  We use 14 oz. grated extra sharp cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta. Gives it a special taste that only real cheddar can.  Also, make sure to not only drain the spinach, but squeeze out any residual water with a towel.  That makes the casserole a little more dense and not as runny.  Then "fluff" the spinach with a fork first to make mixing all the ingredients easier.  Haven't made this particular version, but I'm sure it's worth at least 4 stars based on how much we like our version.

Eh; I used real Cheddar instead of Velveeta but just wasn't crazy for the texture or taste of this spinach side dish.
