This is the creamed spinach like you’ll find in steakhouses. It’s just so darn good, I can’t see straight.
Melt 1 stick of butter in a pot. Sprinkle in flour and whisk together. Cook over medium heat for five minutes or until light golden brown. Throw in onion and garlic and stir together, cooking for another minute. Pour in milk, whisking constantly, and cook for another five minutes while you cook the spinach.
To cook spinach, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a separate pot. Add spinach in increments until all incorporated, and cook until wilted but not soggy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Season the cream sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add spinach to the cream sauce, stirring gently to combine. Serve immediately.

I finally tried this for the first time tonight. Fabulous!! I didn’t have any milk on hand, had to use half-n-half [darn the luck!] so the sauce was too thick, and I had to add more to thin it down. It turned out fantastic anyway, and I have some leftover sauce. Which I can’t wait to try on fish! Or pasta!

It did not work out that good for me.. not that creamy more watery.. .i must have done something wrong. Not enough flour maybe?

This was alright, but i wasnt much of a creamed spinach fan before hand either.

I made this last night for a dinner party. My husband proposed to me. Even though we’re already married and I’m a sure thing. It’s even better the next day with Tabasco on it!

I pretty much ate creamed spinach for a month straight because of this. Creamed spinach and bread rolls. Creamed spinach “sauce” on pasta. Creamed spinach in a pita. Creamed spinach and creamed spinach. Creamed spinach by itself. I stopped short of putting it on rice and I left out the nutmeg (because I don’t have any). Also, much of the time I used frozen spinach because it was cheaper, I’m a broke college kid, I don’t always remember to wash my veggies thoroughly (my diet consisted mostly of creamed spinach, do you think I am a master chef) and I didn’t have to chop them up. Not that you’re supposed to chop your spinach, I just find the whole leaves unwieldy.
