    This is a fabulous side dish that was hearty enough that I would have been happy with it alone for dinner. I reduced the recipe to just enough for Hubby and I and baked in individual ramekins to keep the creamy sauce from weeping into the everything on our dinner plate. I needn't had worried. Served with Mean Chef's Steak Au Poivre and Best Baked Potato, Hubby dunked both his steak and bites of potato into the wonderful cheesiness of this creamed spinach. It was a great meal, and this dish will be repeated.

    Mysterygirl- Thansk for sharing. How can you go wrong with heavy cream, garlic and butter?!? Did have to really drain the spinach so as not to dilute the heavenly base.
