A rich and creamy spinach side dish made with cheese, butter, and a smooth seasoned sauce. It is comforting, savory, and perfect alongside roasted or grilled mains.

Ingredients

  • 3 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the frozen spinach according to the package directions, then drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook briefly, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue cooking until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  4. Add the cheese and stir until completely melted and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Stir the drained spinach into the cheese sauce until evenly combined and heated through.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Drain the spinach very well to prevent the finished dish from becoming watery.
  • For a smoother sauce, add the milk gradually while whisking continuously.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
