Creamed spinach is one of those classic dishes that never goes out of style. And if you’re looking for a creamed spinach recipe that’s sure to impress, look no further! This one is a winner with its creamy sauce, delightful blend of spinach, onions, and garlic, and just a hint of nutmeg to take it up a notch.

HOW TO MAKE A GREAT CREAMED SPINACH

• I like to use frozen spinach for this recipe.  It’s just easier.   Before you add it to the recipe though, make sure it is fully thawed, drained in a colander and then squeezed dry with paper towels.  And I mean S-Q-U-E-E-Z-E-D dry.

• While the spinach is draining the next step is to make a simple roux.   Melt some butter in a saucepan and sauté some onions until they are translucent.  Add the flour to the saucepan and continue to cook it while whisking or stirring for a least a minute or two.

• Add the warmed cream and milk slowly, whisking constantly so no lumps form.  Add the spices and test for seasoning.  
• Add the spinach to the sauce and stir to combine.
