Creamed Spinach

---

I have been playing with recipes for about a year and finally came up with this. it's perfect for stuffing in mushrooms (bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes), serving as a side, or even baking in a dish with artichokes alongside crackers at a dinner party (bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes)!!

Steps

---

Heat the spinach and the water in a saucepan over high heat.

---

Melt the butter in a skillet on medium heat and saute onions.

---

Take the spinach off of the heat and strain in a mesh colander pressing the spinach to drain all of the water.

---

Set aside.

---

Cook the onions until translucent , about 10 minutes.

---

Add the spinach , the garlic and continue sauteing for 1 minute.

---

Add the half and half and brink to a low boil.

---

Add the parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate.

---

Once the spinach has come to a low boil again add the monterry jack cheese and stir to incorporate.

---

Salt and pepper to taste.

---

Cook on a low boil for an additional 2 minutes.

---

If the mixture gets too thick you can add half and half a tablespoon at a time until the spinach is the consistency you like.

---

Enjoy !.
