Fast Spinach Bake
by Jes Mostek
serves: 6
 
Ingredients:
  1 T.   olive oil
  1/4 c.   fresh onion, finely chopped
  1 clove   garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder for each clove)
  2 (10 oz.) pkgs.   frozen chopped spinach
  1 (8 oz.) pkg.   cream cheese, softened
  1 (10.75 oz.) can   condensed cream of mushroom soup
  1 (6 oz.) can   french fried onion
Directions:
  Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 10" oval casserole dish or an 8" x 8" square pan.

In a heavy-bottomed pan, sauté fresh onion and garlic in olive oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until tender and golden-brown.

Thaw and drain spinach (squeeze spinach in a colander or between 2 strong paper towels to get every bit of water out of the spinach).

In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese. Stir in condensed mushroom soup. Add sautéed onion and spinach. Transfer spinach mixture to prepared casserole dish or pan.

Bake 15-20 minutes, or until center is heated through.
