Lady Bird Johnson's Spinach Casserole image

A must Try! This spinach dish is SO good! Got it out of the Houston Chronicle food section, tried it, and my family fell in love with it. My 3 yr. old grandson ate 3 helpings. Best of all it's really easy to make.

3 lbs fresh spinach (I use the frozen) or 2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach (I use the frozen)
