Simple Loaded Spinach Potato Bake

Thanks to Betty Crocker™ Potatoes for sponsoring today’s recipe for this Simple Loaded Spinach Potato Bake, the included coupon, and the $15 #GetYourBettyOn Giveaway.

I’ve shared in the past about how our family attends many potlucks over the holidays. This year has (and will be!) no exception. One thing that I’ve learned by attending and hosting gatherings over the years is that there is always one type of food that is always a crowd favorite: potatoes. No matter what kind of potatoes anyone brings, guests eat them up. Since having the triplets, my time to wash and slice potatoes for large potluck casseroles is extremely limited. Luckily, I’ve found a shortcut. While, traditionally, I would insist on using fresh potatoes, I’ve discovered that by including fresh add-ins to boxed real potatoes, I can still achieve a homemade taste without all the potato chopping time. Today, I’m using Betty Crocker™ Loaded Potatoes to create a simple and easy Loaded Spinach Potato Bake.

Loaded Spinach Potato Bake |  #ad  |  Use boxed potatoes and fresh add-ins to make a quick casserole

Ingredients:

  • Betty Crocker™ Loaded Casserole Potatoes, 1 pack
  • Other ingredients as directed on the Betty Crocker™ Loaded Casserole Potatoes package
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup green onions
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

Loaded Spinach Potato Bake |  #ad  |  Use boxed potatoes and fresh add-ins to make a quick casserole

Follow the directions to prepare the potatoes as instructed on the back of the Betty Crocker™ Loaded Casserole Potatoes box. Add in spinach, green onions, and bacon. The mixture will appear thin before placing it in the oven.

Bake according to the time directed on the package.

To make a batch for a large gathering, use both of the packs in the Betty Crocker™ Loaded Casserole Potatoes and double the other ingredients. This is definitely a simple and easy recipe for a holiday party! I can get ready for the party while it bakes, and it’s a great way to sneak in spinach in yet another recipe.

    I add bits of chopped up ham. I buy it already chopped. It makes for a quick weeknight dinner.

    These look wonderful! I love these cheesy potatoes during the holidays, but I bet they taste even better with spinach. I’ll have to try this one out this year.

    We do a lot of loaded casseroles here. My son just loves them. But I’ve never tried incorporating spinach into them. I definitely have to do it, ASAP!

  11. Barb Miller says

    I’ve always been a fan of cooking up Betty Crocket potatoes with thick slices of ham on top. It’s something my mom always did.

  16. Sandra @ A Dash of Sanity says

    I goofed, and pasted my tweet under the “Follow on twitter” entry~ my twitter name is @acornsofgold.
    Sorry about that!

    • Melanie says

      December 16, 2014 at 11:37 am

      No problem!

  20. Yvonne Woodstock says

    December 16, 2014 at 6:59 am

    I’d make the recipe you shared, except I’d add cut up boneless, skinless chicken breast too.

  21. Yvonne Woodstock says

    December 16, 2014 at 7:10 am

    For some reason Every time I type the url to my tweet in the box on the entry form it tells me to make sure I put the url address in there as if I put nothing in there. I also tried copy and pasting the url to the tweet and it wouldn’t recognize or accept that either. I DID tweet though but don’t know how to get entry credit for it? Help?

    • Melanie says

      December 16, 2014 at 11:32 am

      Hmm…That’s strange! I haven’t heard of anyone else having the issue. Feel free to leave the URL as a comment if that works for you!

  22. Jen @ Simple Nails and Beauty says

    December 16, 2014 at 8:05 am

    This looks great….and I would feel a bit more healthy in eating the potatoes with the spinach! What a great idea for the holidays, thank you!

  23. Sondra @ Sondra Lyn at Home says

  28. Amanda Baker says

    December 16, 2014 at 2:49 pm

    I think that these would taste amazing with some cubed ham thrown in. They actually look like they’d taste great without anymore add ins!! I think the spinach recipe you posted looks delicious so I might have to give that one a try!!

  29. Danielle Porter says

    December 16, 2014 at 3:39 pm

  45. Kate B says

    December 18, 2014 at 8:25 am

    Wow! I never even thought to add things to these potato dishes. I like the spinach idea, we like spinach in my house. I think it would be good to add some mushrooms and onions. Or Broccoli would be good too!
