Ingredients
Cream Sauce
- 3tbsp butter
- 4tbsp fresh milled flour
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/2tsp Salt
- 1cup half & half
Finish the Dish
- 1/4cup Parmesan cheesegrated
- 1/2cup sour cream

Recipe Notes
To make the cream sauce:
Melt 3 tbsp butter in a large sauce pan. Add 4 tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp seasoned salt & 1/2 tsp salt. Cook butter & flour mixture about 4 mintues. Whisk in 1 cup half & half. Cook on medium until very thick. Set aside.
To cook the spinach.
In a large skillet (I use cast iron) add 2 tbsp butter and 4 tbsp minced onions. Cook on medium/ high until onions are soft. Add 1/4 cup water. Add chopped spinach in 2 parts. The spinach will wilt and cook quickly. Once the first half of the spinach has cooked down, stir in the second half.
Using a slotted spoon, add the cooked spinach to the cream sauce. Do not add liquids. Stir spinach into cream.
To finish the Dish:
Add 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese & 1/2 cup sour cream to your creamed spinach & stir.
Enjoy!
This dish can be made ahead warmed in a 325 degree oven before serving. It can be frozen for future meals. It also makes a wonderful spinach dip to serve with tortilla chips. Just top with your favorite grated cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes ( I like mozzarella and parmesan).
