Dutch Oven Spinach Rice Casserole Recipe

This camp spinach rice casserole can serve as a vegetarian main dish or a side dish. It is cooked in a Dutch oven.

I like to cut down on my preparation at camp by cooking the rice and chopping the onion beforehand, but you can also do that at camp if you prefer.
