Sides - Creamed Spinach "Ruth's Chris Steak House clone"

By BlueSchmoo

The recipe requires a package of frozen spinach to make it convenient, but you can use the same amount of fresh spinach if you prefer.

Ingredients

• 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• dash pepper
• dash nutmeg
• dash cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook the spinach following the directions on the package. Drain and squeeze all the liquid from the spinach when it's done.

2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Be careful not to burn it. Add the flour to the melted butter and stir until smooth. Add the cream and heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Stir constantly so that sauce does not burn.

3. Add the spinach, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne. Cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Serve hot.
