Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Fold the drained spinach into the mixture, ensuring the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the cheesy mixture.
Grease the inside of your crock pot with the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour the spinach mixture into the crock pot and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the top of the mixture to create a crunchy topping.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 3 hours, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.
Once done, carefully remove the lid and let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone vegetarian meal.
