Lunch Ladies Creamy Italian Spinach - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and semi dried
4 slices bacon (leave out to make vegetarian)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (not the kind in the green jar that looks like powder, this won't work)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

With kitchen shears cut raw bacon into small pieces and fry until crispy but not burned, drain well on paper towels.
Place spinach in a large corning ware type bowl that is micro-wave safe.
Add bacon, sour cream, cheese and seasonings to the spinach stir well to combine.
Heat covered in a microwave oven for 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir well. Heat for additional 2 minutes.
OPTION: For a nicer presentation, after microwaving sprinkle parmesan cheese over top of the spinach and place in 350*F oven for about ten minutes or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
