This is by far the best creamed spinach recipe that I have ever tasted! My mother got married in early Nov and my brother (a chef) served Bar-B-Qued Filet Mignon, oven roasted red potatoes, this creamed spinach, salad and garlicy cheesy bread - Talk about heaven!! The creamed spinach stole the show and 1/2 the guests left with the recipe! He found the recipe on the internet, it is a copy cat recipe of Boston Market's creamed spinach. (I think it's better). Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter (divided) or 5 tablespoons margarine (divided) |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
4 ounces cream cheese |
2 tablespoons minced onions |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed |
1/4 cup water |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan over medium low heat, melt 3 Tbls butter.
2. Stir flour and salt into pan until creamed together.
3. Slowly stir in cream, then stir in cream cheese, increase heat to medium.
4. Constantly whisk until mixture becomes thick and smooth, remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, saute onions and garlic in remaining butter until transparent.
6. Add spinach and water to pan, reduce heat to low, cover.
7. Cook, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes.
8. Stir prepared sauce and Parmesan cheese into pan, stir until completely blended.
