Instructions
Step 1: Prep and Mix
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
- Cook the 3 packages frozen spinach according to package directions.

- In a medium bowl, combine the drained spinach, the 1 small container sour cream, and the 1 package dry onion soup mix, stirring well until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 2: Bake and Top
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbling gently around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the 1 small can French-fried onion rings evenly over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and fragrant.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance without the onion topping, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
