Equipment

  • Oven
  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • Baking dish
  • microwave

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 4 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach thawed, drained and squeezed dry
  • 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 package (8 ounces) sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 3 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts drained and chopped
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup real mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup French fried onion rings

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place garlic cloves in a small oven-safe dish, and roast in the preheated oven until softened and fragrant, about 20 minutes. Set roasted garlic cloves aside to cool.
  • Place spinach in a large mixing bowl; stir in the artichoke hearts.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are softened, about 10 minutes. Mix in green onions, and cook and stir until onions are soft, about 5 more minutes.
  • Transfer mushroom mixture into the bowl with spinach mixture.
  • Remove cream cheese from wrapping, place into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in the microwave until warm and very soft, about 1 ½ minutes. Stir softened cream cheese into spinach mixture, and add sour cream, water chestnuts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic salt, and lemon juice.
  • Squeeze roasted garlic out of garlic skins, and mix thoroughly into the spinach mixture. Spoon the casserole into a round 2-quart baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread French-fried onion rings over the top, return to the oven, and bake until the onion rings are lightly browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.

Notes

If you are a garlic lover, add an additional clove or two of pressed garlic to the mixture without roasting it first.
