Easy Creamed Spinach does not get easier! This simple homemade side dish is so much better than store bought!
Creamed spinach can be mistaken for just a bunch of spinach and heavy cream thrown together — like abracadabra — and you have creamed spinach. Well that may be a super easier version. This, however, is worth every minute it takes, standing over the stove and making the best white sauce to coat your wilted spinach leaves. Good luck making it to the table!
