Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 2 cups cubed bread (1/2 inch)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Sauté Vegetables:
    In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the celery and onion, and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  • Add Spinach and Soup:
    Stir in the thawed spinach and the can of mushroom soup. Mix well.

  • Transfer to Baking Dish:
    Transfer the mixture to a 1-1/2-quart round baking dish.

  • Prepare Bread Topping:
    In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Stir in the bread cubes until they are well coated with butter.

  • Assemble the Casserole:
    Sprinkle the buttered bread cubes over the spinach mixture in the baking dish.

  • Bake the Casserole:
    Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the mixture is bubbly and the bread cubes are golden brown.

Notes

  • Add Cheese: For an extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle some grated cheddar or Parmesan on top before baking.
  • Use Different Bread: Try sourdough or whole wheat bread cubes for added flavor.
  • Add Protein: To make it heartier, incorporate cooked chicken or turkey into the casserole.
