Ingredients

2 boxes frozen chopped spinach
¼ cup water
3 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into pieces
½ cup butter (1 stick)
1 teaspoon celery salt
1½ tsps Worcestershire sauce ~ or as my grandmother and mom say, Lea & Perrins
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoon butter, melted
½ cup coarse, fresh bread crumbs ~ I made mine with white bread in the food processor
½ cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400º
In medium sauce pan, cook frozen spinach in ¼ cup water, lid on, and stir frequently to break up as it cooks, 10 - 15 minutes. Do NOT drain water.
Add the bread pieces, butter, celery salt, Worcestershire and garlic salt, stir to combine and butter melts, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, make the topping. In small bowl, combine melted 2 tablespoons butter, bread crumbs and Parmesan with a fork until crumbly.
Lightly butter small round casserole. Place spinach mixture in casserole and smooth top. Sprinkle top of spinach evenly with bread crumb/Parmesan topping mixture. Bake in center of oven for 15 minutes, until browned and bubbly.

Notes

Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish

Spinach Rockefeller is a great side with beef, lamb or ham. I’ve served it at dinner parties and people love it ~ something a bit different than creamed spinach.
