Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350* F. Use 1 tablespoon butter to grease a 13" X 9" baking dish.

  2. Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet, and sauté onions, mushrooms and garlic for 3-4 of minutes until onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft.

  3. Add the spinach a handful at a time to the skillet, and sauté. Once you’ve added all the spinach, cover the skillet to let the spinach wilt for about 5 minutes.
