Spinach and Mushroom Casserole

Original Recipe from allrecipes.com

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced 2 (10 ounce) packages fresh spinach, rinsed and stems removed 1 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons butter, melted 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place spinach in a large pot. Wilt over medium heat; drain, squeezing or pressing out excess water. Place in prepared baking dish and top with salt, 4 tablespoons melted butter, onion and 1/2 of the cheese. Layer mushrooms on top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes

First, I wilted 3 8oz. bags of baby spinach adding no butter or oil, put in strainer and pressed water out. Then I sauteed 8oz. sliced mushrooms with the 1/2 onion called for, added 1 minced garlic clove the juice of 1/2 a lemon and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce Mixed spinach into mushroom mixture. Put in casserole dish and topped with the cheese. I did not use any butter and only a tiny bit of olive oil with the mushrooms! It still was a little greasy I guess from the cheese. But the flavor was fabulous. Added Bacon
