Spinach Casserole
Bill Arnold

5 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach
21 ounces cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
1 pound bacon, fried very crisp
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter
2 onions, chopped, sautéed
2 small cans mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 pound Swiss cheese, grated
Cracker crumbs, if needed for consistency
Juice of 4 lemons

Preheat oven to 350°. Cook frozen spinach as directed, drain well. Fry the bacon,sauté the onions, and add remaining ingredients in order listed. Add cracker crumbs if needed to make a fairly stiff mixture. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350°. Makes about 16 servings.

This is the single most versatile, perhaps the most wonderful, recipe ever given to me. Thank you,Bill Arnold, you big baritone gourmet . This larger recipe is recommended. The leftovers are just the ticket for preparing about a dozen recipes that are some of the best and easiest in this collection, once you have the Spinach Casserole ready to go.
