This is based on Dottie's Green Bean Casserole but with spinach. It's very good but I think I used a little too much spinach in mine. I used a 16-ounce bag plus a 10-ounce box. I think that two 10-ounce packages would be about right so I've edited the recipe for that amount. Click the photo to see a close-up.
