Savory Spinach Carrot Mushroom Kugel or Appetizer image

This may not be a traditional kugel, but it's absolutely delicious. I baked this in a 9x13 dish and enjoyed a big slice. The mushrooms add a meaty texture. Spinach and carrots add a freshness to the casserole. Next time I may make these into appetizer-size balls as Helaine suggests. I bet they'd be tasty that way too.
