Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 15

White Sauce
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 4 tablespoons flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt (I use seasoned salt)
* 1 cup half-and-half or milk
Spinach
* 1/2 cup sour cream (lowfat is okay)
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2-4 tablespoons onions, minced
* 1/4 cup water
* 20 ounces frozen spinach, drained and chopped
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional or to taste)
* 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
* Pinch cayenne (optional)
* 1 tsp. fresh garlic (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat until sizzling. If you are adding in the fresh garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper then saute in butter for about 2 minutes but do not brown the garlic. Whisk in the flour and 1/2 tsp seasoned salt (or white salt) until creamed together and smooth. Stir in the half and half, or milk (if using) a little at a time. Increase heat to medium and constantly whisk until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Place 2 tbsp butter in saucepan over med heat; add the 2 tbsp minced onion, and cook until transparent. Add spinach and water to pan, lower the heat, and cover.
  • Stirring several times until the spinach is cooked. When the spinach is almost done, add the prepared white sauce, sour cream and Parmesan cheese (if using).
  • Stir well, and simmer until completely blended. Season with more seasoned salt or white salt if desired and black pepper.
