Spinach and Rice Casserole Recipe

Democracy Dies in Darkness

A box of frozen chopped spinach opens up a world of culinary possibilities — including this casserole of modest size. A bag of cooked brown rice in the freezer or a box of Minute Brand brown rice is great to have on hand as well.

Feel free to bulk up the dish with crumbled, cooked sausage or cooked, shredded chicken.

Transfer the package of spinach from the freezer to a plate in the refrigerator before you go to work in the morning; this will speed up preparation when you get home.

The unbaked casserole can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then refrigerated for 1 day or frozen for up to 3 months.
