Well I have searched the internet, and this one looks good and easy, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone has any YUMMY recipes before I commit to this one.

1 box frozen chopped spinach

Cook spinach as directed and drain. Set aside.

CREAM SAUCE:

1/2 stick butter
1/2 c. flour
Pinch of salt

Melt butter, add flour and salt to make the roux. Add milk and stir until medium thickness. Stir in 2 tbsp. of sugar. Add drained spinach.

I was thinking of adding nutmeg, a lil garlic, and fine grated onion (cook these in the roux to bring out flavor) and then bake w/ bread crumbs and parm cheese on top in the oven til the top is browned.

Any other recipes? This is the 1st time I am making it and want it to be YUMMY!

Here is the other one I found that had a lot of great reviews:

3 tbsp. butter
4 tbsp. flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. whole milk
1/2 c. sour cream - can be low-fat
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. onion, minced
1/4 c. water
20 oz. frozen spinach, chopped
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan on Med-Low heat. Stir in flour and salt until creamed together. Stir in milk a little at a time. Increase the heat to Medium. Constantly stir with a whisk until mixture is thick and smooth.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a 2 quart saucepan over Medium heat, add onions and cook until transparent. Add spinach and water to pan, lower the heat and cover. Stir several times until spinach is almost completely cooked.

When spinach is almost done, add white sauce, sour cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir well and simmer until completely blended.

Then I thought I'd brown it under the broiler.

Bueller?

Here is the one we use. It's the recipe from Lawerys Prime Rib in Beverly Hills. It's sooooo good. It's simular to he others but this has bacon. ENJOY!
