Easy Creamed Spinach

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 pounds spinach, washed
• 2 T. butter or margarine
• 1 onion, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 block cream cheese, softened and cubed
• 1/2 cup milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Steam spinach in boiling salted water until just wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool.

Once cool, squeeze the spinach to remove as much water as possible. Chop and set to the side.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and garlic to the butter and cook 3 to 5 minutes until softened.

Add cream cheese and milk. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted.

Stir in spinach and simmer mixture for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
