Dee-lish. My husband just said... "I could eat that whole pot". I substituted also, I had some left over cooked white rice. I think next time I make this I may try swiss cheese... Yum.

I substituted cream cheese for the sour cream (as I had no sour cream). And it was wonderful!!

I made this last night. My husband said it could be a picture in a magazine. He loved it. He said to put it on the requested recipes list.

This is just like a recipe I have called "Spinach Fandango" a family favorite. I have substituted sausage and it turns out great. Thank you for including this recipe.
