Spinach Souffle (Mom Sweeney's Recipe)
Spinach Souffle Mom Sweeneys Recipe
"This is the best tasting Spinach Souffle recipe. When my sister and I where little, neither of us liked spinach. But, after finally trying this souffle, I learned just as my sister did that it was so bad after all and it was delicious. My mother would only make this for Thanksgiving Or Christmas Dinner. But, I make it throughout the year. You don't need any special occasion to enjoy this recipe. I recommend for the best taste, not to change or substitute anything for the recipe. I hope that you enjoy this recipe!"
NotesFor the best flavor, do not change or substitute any of the ingredients.
