Kittencal's Sausage Spinach Squares

Created by KittenCal on October 12, 2011

3 links (1/2 pound) Italian sausage (casings removed, mild or spicy, I like spicy)
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (I use seasoned salt)
Cayenne pepper (pinch to taste)

1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
1 yellow onion, chopped (small onion)
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 package (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach (cooked according to package directions then hand-squeezed dry to remove the excess moisture)
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons butter (cut into small cubes - no substitutes)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Step 3: In a skillet cook/brown the ground beef or sausage meat; drain fat, then set aside for a few minutes (if you are making this without the beef then omit this step).
Step 4: In a large bowl whisk the eggs until frothy; add in milk, flour, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, baking powder and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, mix vigorously until well blended (can use an electric mixer for mixing).
Step 5: Add in the cooked ground beef, chopped onion, 4 cups cheddar cheese and spinach; mix until well combined.
Step 6: Season with fresh ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7: Place the butter cubes in the baking dish and place in the oven to melt for 10 minutes).
Step 8: Transfer/spread the spinach mixture into the hot baking dish.
Step 9: Sprinkle the top with remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese.
Step 10: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until firm and golden brown (for a crispier square bake longer).
Step 11: Cool slightly then cut into desired size squares.
