It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed but not drained
2 cups converted white rice
4 cups homemade vegetable stock
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 can (13.75 ounce size) quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed and well drained
1 package (16 ounce size) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
directions
In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart electric slow cooker, combine the undrained spinach, rice, stock, bell pepper, roasted peppers, onion, garlic, saffron, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook on the low heat setting about 4 hours, or until the rice is just tender but the grains are still separate and not mushy; watch closely near the end of the cooking time.
Stir in the artichokes and thawed vegetables. Increase the heat to the high setting and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
