Soybean Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups soybeans
1 medium onion
5 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
8 ounces feta cheese
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 egg
1 bag frozen spinach

Preparation

Soak soybeans overnight in at least six cups of water.
Cook soybeans in new water until tender.
Thaw spinach in a bowl in the microwave.
Saute onion (You could add one green pepper if you like.) Mix soybeans, crumbled bacon bits, onions and spinach together and spread in a large casserole dish.
In a separate bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese, cottage cheese, and one egg.
Spread cheese mixture over soybeans.
Bake in 350 degree F oven 45 minutes until topping is brown and casserole is heated through.
Variations: Use fresh spinach or broccoli or frozen broccoli.
Note: You may need two eggs for binding the cheese to soybeans if feta is particularly dry.
Sometimes I dust the top with a bit of paprika for color not for taste.
You can use more or less bacon.
It is just a teaser to get them to try it.
I've made it without the bacon for a vegetarian friend of mine and she loved it.
