For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides a superior flavor compared to pre-grated. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery casserole. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrients. If you don't have bacon bits, crumbled cooked bacon works just as well. For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Dec 1, 2022The sauce was a little too thick for my liking, so I added a splash of milk to thin it out.
