Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Step 2
Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Place it in a large skillet over medium heat, cooking until just wilted (about 3-5 minutes). Drain any excess liquid and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Add the cooked spinach to the cheese mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Transfer the spinach and cheese mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the Italian breadcrumbs with the melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 7
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 8
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
