- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp old bay seasoning
- 1/2 tsp adobo seasoning

NOTE: Use as much spinach as you can pack into your baking dish because spinach does shrink quite a bit.

.
2. Then, combine the sauce ingredients and evenly spread over the top of the casserole. Finally, sprinkle with cheese and bake in a preheated to 500 degrees F oven for 10 minutes.
