This rich, decadent recipe has been in my family for years, and to tell the truth, nobody remembers where it came from. Because it’s so rich, we only make it for special occasions. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser and a family favorite.

HOLIDAY SPINACH/ARTICHOKE CASSEROLE
(This recipe can be doubled easily, made ahead and frozen.)
2 – 10oz. boxes of chopped spinach. (I get the steam in the bag kind, cut a small corner off, and squeeze the fluid out, which saves a lot of mess and time.)
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese.
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 stick of real butter (can be reduced to 1/2 stick)
1 pint of sour cream
1 large can of artichoke hearts, quartered
10 slices of bacon, fried crisp and crumbled.
Steam the spinach, cool to room temp., cut a small corner off and squeeze as much liquid out as you possible can. Sauté onion in the butter. Mix all ingredients together well. Make sure to break up clumps of spinach. Put in baking dish, sprinkle the top with more parmesan and bake in 350°F oven until bubbly all the way through. (About 35 minutes)

The picture is of the uncooked dish. It looks all bubbly and browned on the top when cooked. It's really yummy. Don't cut back on the butter, y'all. I mean, with the sour cream, bacon and cheese, what's the point??
Thanks so much for having me on Romance Cooks, Dee. This is a great site, and I've gathered a lot of new recipes to try.
