Great tasting and super easy. Didn't use the food processor, just whipped the ingredients in a bowl with a whisk. Used low fat sour cream and cottage cheese. Nummy!

This was a very yummy spinach dish. I had a lot of frozen spinach from last year's garden and was looking for a new recipe. There was only two of us so I reduced the recipe by 2/3rd and only cooked it for about 35 minutes. We both loved the recipe and I will definitely make it again. Thanks. UPDATE : I made this again and modified it due to what I had on hand. I didn't have enough cottage cheese so I added some cream cheese and I also added some leeks (I had a small amount left in the freezer so I thought, why not add the leeks). I didn't add cheese at the end as I didn't have any left but it didn't need it. Still yummy. UPDATE#2: Tried something new with this recipe. Instead of a cassarole, I filled ready made tart shells with the spinach mixture and baked for about 35 min. at 375. I also added some sauteed onions to the mixture. I guess you could say I made some mini quiches. Very good.

This is very good and I don't even like spinach! And my kids ate seconds! I was asked to bring this to Easter dinner this year! Like the other reviews, I made a roux, then added the milk and cheese. One sauce pan to clean!! I also put buttered panko bread crumbs on top! Yummy!

I did everything wrong, not enough cottage cheese, cream cheese instead. Too much sour cream, added lots of extra cheese, put the 2 last cups of cheese on before baking, added sun-dried tomatoes for color and baked it slower to compensate for cheese on top. Turned out great.

I made this as it's written, and it wasn't bad, but didn't have as much flavor as I'd like. I'm going to make it again, and make a few changes. I think it could use a little onion, garlic, and a dash of cayenne pepper, and I prefer monterey jack or parmesan over cheddar cheese. Also, I like a crunchy topping, so I think I'm going to sprinkle with crushed seasoned croutons before baking.

My family loved it. I took the advice of the other reviews and added onions, fresh garlic, onion powder, thyme leaves and nutmeg. I even added mozzarella cheese. Something different and it is good that I could add low fat items. I am going to make it again. We had bake turkey along with this dish.

Delicious. I added about a 1/2 c of chopped onions. Even my picky husband got a second helping. Really good and really easy. Good job. Thanks for the recipe

I halved this recipe and used fat free cottage cheese, fat free sourcream, fat free cheddar cheese, and Egg Beaters. I placed in an 8 inch square dish sprayed with Pam and baked at 350 for about 45 minutes and it was done. I just mixed the cheese all inside. Very very yummy and would make again in a heart beat. My picky picky husband said it was a keeper as he was spreading it on his french bread!

I gave this receipe 4 stars...a good basic Spinach Casserole. I used fresh garlic cloves (4), 1/2 chopped onion, reduced the eggs to 3, increased the cottage cheese to 20 oz, left out the sour cream,left out the flour, decreased the cheddar cheese to 2 cups in and 1/2 cup on top, added a teaspoon of caraway seed and a GENEROUS sprinkling of black pepper, NO salt. Guess I changed a lot, but it came out wonderfully well. More like the recipe that my Ma gave me and I could not locate tonight. Gotta love this site for jogging the memory...smiles. Thank you, Valerie.

Very delicious! I don't have a food processor so I just added all the ingredients and put in my crock pot casserole dish- cooked on high for two hours. The only thing I added was some butter once it was all cooked. My 2 year old loved it!

We really liked this! It is so easy to prepare ahead of time as a side and so adaptable to being made "light". I also subbed fat free Greek yogurt for the sour cream. I will definitely make this again! Thank you!

Easy to make and quite tasty. I cut the recipe in half and added 4 pieces of bacon which really enhanced to the flavor.

I really had high hopes for this. I needed to find a way to incorporate more vegetables in my diet. But this was just awful. And not cheap to make. Sorry but this is just not good.

Left out cottage cheese and substituted sour cream. Turned out well and tasted great.

My kids adored this and kept asking for more helpings. My one complaint is that I think 2 t of salt is too much. Next time I will only do 1 1/2t.
