Cheesy Spinach and Mushroom Casserole
This is an easy vegetarian-friendly dinner recipe that is loaded with nutrients from spinach and satisfies all your savory cravings with umami flavor from sauteed mushrooms. Any mushroom can be used in this recipe, but we find that baby bella and cremini are best.
Equipment
- 1 medium pan
- 1 8-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
