How to Make Spinach & Artichoke Rice Casserole
This Spinach & Artichoke Rice Casserole is very simple to make. Start with some cooked rice. I used cooked white rice. You can use any type of rice that you prefer - white, jasmine, or brown. As long as it is already cooked, it is fine. Next, add the spinach, artichokes, cheeses, milk, and seasonings. Spread into a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake.
I chopped my artichokes in the food processor so they chopped pretty fine. Feel free to use larger chunks of artichokes if you prefer. If you love spinach, you can double the spinach in this recipe. I think a little spinach goes a long way, so I never add more.
If you want to transform this side dish into a main dish, add some cooked chicken or ham. YUM!
