A delightful twist on a classic spinach casserole, perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Stir in the flour and cook for a minute to form a roux.
Cooking the flour removes its raw taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
Ensure no lumps form by whisking continuously.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and half of the cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted.
Adding the cheese in batches helps it melt smoothly.
Mix the cooked spinach into the sauce, then transfer the mixture to a casserole dish.
Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid a watery casserole.
Top with the bread crumbs and the remaining cheese.
Spread the topping evenly for a uniform crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Spinach Bake!
Letting it cool helps the flavors meld together.
