We love this Creamed Spinach! Instead of heavy cream, I add sour cream and a little cayenne to spice it up! This recipe is just for 2 so you can increase the ingredients and make it for more. You want to squeeze out as much water as you can to prevent your creamed spinach from being too watery.
This is the perfect side dish for your steak dinners at home. I served this with grilled steaks the other night, of which more times than not, I serve this when I cook steaks on the grill. Allen loves this too, which is always a plus!
Here’s the recipe for the steaks if you want a delicious steak recipe: http://www.the2spoons.com/lucies-oh-so-good-easy-steak-on-the-grill/
There is a restaurant in Dallas called the Celebration. In the 1970s or 1980s they served a spinach casserole that I developed this recipe from, and I think it is how they did it, including the cayenne that I add. That was probably one of their most popular dishes and I absolutely loved it!
