Spinach Potatoes with Cheese

This is one of our all-time favorite side-dishes. Tonight we’re having it with my crockpot chicken.

4 cups prepared mashed potatoes
1 12-16 oz bag chopped spinach, cooked & drained
2 cups shredded co-jack cheese
1 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and pour into a 9×13 pan. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until heated through. Makes approximately 10 servings.

Traci’s Crockpot Chicken

This is a common meal at our house – easy and inexpensive. It’s not fancy fare by any stretch – but my family loves it.

Traci’s Crockpot Chicken

1 whole chicken, rinsed well
Herbs of your choice. I use rosemary & basil
Salt & pepper
2 cubes of chicken bullion (optional)

Place chicken in crockpot, add herbs/seasonings of your choice, plus bullion. Cover and cook on high 4 hours or until chicken is well done.

After the chicken is done, I often use some of the liquid from cooking the chicken to make my mashed potatoes. It gives a nice flavor to the potatoes.
