In a 2-quart saucepan cook bacon till crisp; drain, reserving drippings. 

Turkey bacon, as per usual

I got pre-chopped carrot. #lazy

Stir in soup, spinach, rice, and milk.

Let's get MESSY.

And substantial!

Turn mixture into a 1-quart casserole. Bake, covered, at 375F till heated through, 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Bacon bacon bacon.

A nice little meal all by itself. 

My Rating: 4/5 "Spinach is a wonderful thing. This casserole is a nice side dish or a substantial meal-in-a-bowl. The bacon and soup add nice accents to the flavor of the spinach, and the overall effect is quite pleasant!"
