While this one takes a little more time to make it, it is perfect when you wanting a side for a nice steak dinner at home or for a holiday meal.

Creamed Spinach

The trick to this recipe is to make a roux for the cream sauce. If is more simple than it seems. I love to use a flat whisk when making a roux to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom. Make sure you divide the butter using part of it to start your roux. Once it has melted add the flour and use the whisk to incorporate.

Gradually add the half and half and mix together and then toss in the cream cheese. The other part of the butter is used to saute the onions and garlic. Once they are translucent add the spinach until wilted. Once wilted add the cream sauce to the spinach and enjoy!
