It says to cook the drained, frozen spinach first. I've never done that and no one has complained. Have I been doing it wrong or are these new directions? Do you cook yours first? |

I also made it forever without really "seeing" the cook instruction until fairly recently. It's yummy! |

I make a warm cob loaf dip and I use fresh baby spinach leaves rather than frozen spinach. After I've cooked the bacon I put the spinach in for a quick stir just to wilt it. | |

I wonder if the cooking instruction is somehow related to the occasional contamination of fresh spinach with E. coli? |

I swear I can eat that stuff straight by the spoonful. I haven't made it this year; probably for the best. And no, I don't cook the frozen spinach, it's already cooked. |
