Ingredients 

  • 8 cups frozen chopped spinach, 20 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly ground nutmeg

Instructions 

  • Add the spinach to a large, heavy skillet and cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until it’s completely thawed and all of the moisture has evaporated. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the butter to the pan and melt over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onion and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture turns golden, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Warm the milk in the microwave for 1 minute, then slowly add it to the onion mixture. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the reserved spinach along with the cream cheese and combine thoroughly.
  • Add the sour cream, mix well and continue cooking until the creamed spinach is hot and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg and transfer to a serving bowl.
