Spinach-Cheddar Casserole

This is the only way I can get my kids to actually enjoy spinach (they usually eat it grudgingly); they ask for seconds or thirds of this dish every time! It's a fabulous brunch item for grownups, too.

Ingredients
4 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
16 oz container cottage cheese
1 cup packed grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 tbsp dried dillweed

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Beat eggs, salt, and pepper to blend in a large bowl. Mix in spinach. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well blended. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. Bake casserole until center is firm and top is golden, about 45 minutes.
