I love to figure out ways to use up leftover stuff that I have in my freezer! I had some leftover imitation crab meat and some leftover frozen chopped spinach that was just sitting there begging for me to use it! I looked around the web trying to find a recipe that I had all the ingredients for! Well, nothing came close, so I just did a 'super tweak' of a basic crab casserole recipe! I was very pleased with the results! This dish was everything I had hoped for...it was light and fluffy, with a good balance of flavors! You could taste both cheeses and you could taste the crab along with the spices! This was quick to put together, which is always an added bonus!
