This is very much a family recipe with us in Thibodaux. Since the jalapeño rolls of cheese are gone we use pepper jack and it works well. One important ingredient we tradionally add, since there’s not much spinach liquor, is Pernod. Great flavor!!

Thank you for giving the correct credit for this recipe. My aunt was in the luncheon club with Madeline, and I get angry when I see others taking the credit. I just finished making it for Thanksgiving. We can’t have it without it.

I want to make this for Thanksgiving I’ll make up the day before what’s the process for reheating ?

This is a holiday tradition in my Louisiana family. I use hot Monterrey Jack cheese. Kraft hasn’t made the jalapeño cheese for eons so don’t bother looking for it.

I made this (doubled) for Christmas dinner - it was delicious! Sometimes creamed spinach recipes can be overly mushy and filling, but this was a nice balance of spinach and creaminess. The "hot pepper cheese" I used and the red pepper flakes gave it a nice bite of spiciness. Will make again!

If you are using the Velveeta and minced jalapenos instead of the jalapeno cheese, do you seed the jalapenos before mincing them?
And, any thoughts on the game Saturday night? :>)

Yuck!! Velveeta in a thick dip yes.
Never in a casserole hun.😊
Jalapeno Jack is fine. If you prefer hot spinach use jalapeno's minced.
Or a Tbls of red pepper flakes.
