Creamed Spinach Casserole
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 3/4 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 ½ cups half-and-half or whole milk
- 2 lbs. chopped frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and saute the onion and garlic in the melted butter until the onions are softened.
- Add the flour and spices, and continue cooking and stirring another 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly add the half-and-half, stirring until blended. Bring the mixture to a boil. Continue cooking and stirring until blended and thickened, another 5-8 minutes.
- Add in the spinach and parmesan cheese. You could cook it in the pan and serve immediately at this point, or transfer it to a casserole dish and refrigerate until later.
- When you’re ready to serve, heat the casserole at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until heated through.
