- Preheat the over to 375°. Lightly oil a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.

My Experience
This is my favorite casserole for pot-luck dinners. It's relatively easy to make, has a very nice flavor, and keeps well. I like to save a little swiss cheese (or use a little extra) to put on the top after the final spinach-cheese layer.
