Spinach Crunch

Posted on October 8, 2013 by | Leave a comment

This dish should be called “spinach sneak” because it is so tasty that even the kids will eat it and not recognize the taste of spinach, which they hate.
3 c. Rice Chex cereal crushed to 1.5 c
1 t onion powder
3 T melted margarine

Combine above and set aside.

8oz Philadelphia cream cheese
5 oz evaporated milk
2 t lemon juice
¾ t salt
Dash pepper
1 egg, well beaten
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained.

In saucepan, combine cream cheese, milk, lemon juice, and seasonings. Cook over low heat until smooth. Add egg. Stir constantly until sauce thickens. Stir in spinach until well blended. Turn into shallow 1 ½ quart dish. Cover with crumbs. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Serves 8.
