Creamed Spinach Casserole

Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American

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

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter and saute the onion and garlic in the melted butter until the onions are softened.
  2. Add the flour and spices, and continue cooking and stirring another 2-3 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. When you’re ready to serve, heat the casserole at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until heated through.
