2 pkg. Frozen chopped spinach
1 large pkg. Cream cheese (8 oz.)
1 stick of margarine, divided in half
grated rind of one lemon
Pepperidge Farm dressing crumbs (herb seasoned)
Blend cream cheese, ¼ stick of margarine and lemon rind. Cook spinach according to directions. Drain well. Squeeze out excess water. Mix with cheese mixture. (I add juice from ½ lemon or less and salt to taste). Put in buttered (or sprayed with Pam) casserole dish and top with desired amount of crumbs. Melt 1/2 stick of margarine and drizzle over top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 min. Serves 4-6 *
(GREAT recipe that has become a family holiday favorite!)
