Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 1.5 qt. baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside. 1 If you haven't yet, cook the frozen spinach. Heat for 6-8 minutes in a microwave-safe container in the microwave with no extra liquid. When the spinach is cooked through, strain over a bowl or a liquid measuring cup to reserve the cooking liquid for later. Set aside. 2 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. 3 When the olive oil is simmering, add the onion, stirring in the pan until it has softened. 4 Measure in the flour, and stir until the onions are coated. Cook for a few minutes until the flour begins to turn golden brown. 5 Slowly pour in the milk and spinach liquid, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add the Worcestershire, celery salt, garlic salt and black pepper. Taste and add kosher salt if necessary. 6 Remove from the heat, and add the ¾ cup of pepperjack cheese and the cooked, drained spinach. Stir until the ingredients have melted together, then transfer to the prepared baking dish. 7 Once the mixture is in the baking dish, sprinkle the additional ¼ cup of pepperjack on top of the casserole, and transfer to the oven. 10 Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is browned. 8 Serve warm, and enjoy!View original recipe
