Mashed Potato Casserole

1 box instant mashed potatoes
cream cheese
1 box frozen chopped spinach (drained/squeezed really well)

Spray 9x13 casserole pan. Spread mixture evenly in pan. Sprinkle with Paprika. Cover with tinfoil. Can be done the night before.

I like to make this at Christmas time - looks festive with the green spinach and red paprika.

I got this recipe from Kim Miller. She never added the spinach. I did (trying to get my family to eat more veggies)...and it worked. Sometimes I omit the spinach and add cheddar cheese and chopped up cooked bacon.
