I can appreciate what the other reviewer has posted. This dish is similar to a scalloped or creamed spinach dish. It would be a great dish to serve with your leftover rice or pasta.

I had to make this one because it has my two favorites and staples in my diet in it- spinach and crab (although I enjoy the fake crab).

I noticed it didnt have any seasonings listed so I salted and peppered and added nutmeg to my spinach before combining with the white sauce and cheese. Oh the other substitution I made is the addition of goat cheese instead of the parmesan. I also added some garlic powder to the bread crumbs and butter. Quite nice but I do enjoy creamed spinach.

I was absolutely disappointed by this recipe.

#1 - This is not a main course. More like a dip, a side dish at best

#2 - It did not taste very good. It was bland and boring. The bread crumbs were a weird gross addition. The dish looked like spinach dip but did not come out near as good. I felt like I wasted my time and money.
