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.
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
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’d put ham in with it for a complete meal.
I add bits of chopped up ham. I buy it already chopped. It makes for a quick weeknight dinner.
I would make potato and ground beef casserole
I will make loaded potato soup.
This looks so good. I would probably eat them with chicken and vegetables.
I would make their recipe for the skinny mexican chicken casserole.
I’d make this recipe…it looks absolutely delicious
Sadly I’m allergic to potatoes but my family would love it with ham.
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!
I’d just use it for a side dish with an easy dinner night!
Yum!
This looks so delicious! We love potatoes with chicken!
My kids love these potatoes and what an awesome idea to load them with spinach. Yum!
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.
I love adding spinach into recipes. It’s such a great way to sneak some healthy items into recipes. Thanks for sharing!
We’d probably make it with ham and spinach for a complete casserole meal!
That loaded spinach bake sounds pretty yummy to me!
I goofed, and pasted my tweet under the “Follow on twitter” entry~ my twitter name is @acornsofgold.
Sorry about that!
No problem!
I’d make the recipe you shared, except I’d add cut up boneless, skinless chicken breast too.
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?
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!
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!
I’d add ham and chives, but your recipe looks awesome!
I would make a spinach stuffed chicken to go with my betty crocker potatoes
This sounds absolutely delicious! I love adding things to boxed things to make them our own!
Your recipe looks delicious!
I’d probably add ham, and use your idea to add spinach!
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!!
I like the idea of adding spinach i might also throw in some cut up chicken!
I’m not very good in the kitchen, but what you made looks great!

Yummy, doesn’t this look delightful! Cheesy goodness and the spinach makes me feel like it is healthy!
I would add some chicken with it for an easy meal. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d add smoked sausage to make it a one dish meal.
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!
that loaded potato casserole looks great! I’d start with that.
Baked Potato soup would be a great start!
Good old potatoes au gratin, with spinach and caramelized onions to jazz it up!
