My twins wouldnât eat anything that even resembled a vegetable, but they ate seconds and sometimes thirds of this fabulous spinach. I received the recipe from a friend several years ago, and itâs been part of my Thanksgiving menu ever since. I usually double or triple the recipe. My children arenât the only ones who want extra servings! Ingredients:
1 large onion, finely chopped |
4 green onions, finely chopped |
4 bacon strips, diced |
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/4 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2-1/2 cups milk |
3 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry |
1/2 cup half-and-half cream |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the onions and bacon in butter over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended.
2. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in spinach and cream; cook 3-5 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
