This rich, cheesy side dish is packed with layers of spinach, potatoes, sautéed onion, and delicious pancetta. Try it for brunch, as well.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 (3 ounce) packages pancetta bacon, finely chopped
5 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 pint heavy cream

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and pancetta in hot butter until onion is tender and pancetta is cooked through. Remove from heat.
3 Alternately layer potato slices, salt and pepper, onion-pancetta mixture, spinach, and cheese in the prepared baking dish. Pour heavy cream over all. Cover the dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until bubbly and lightly browned, about 30 minutes more.
