This is heavenly. Wonderful comfort food, and a kid pleaser! My preschooler and toddler wolf this down and ask for seconds. We eat this with just about any cajun dish, but it’s also good with pasta dishes.

Equipment

6 cup glass baking dish
large saute pan

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, minced
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 pounds frozen spinach, thawed and well drained (or 3 pounds fresh spinach, washed, stemmed and finely chopped)
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly grease baking dish.

2. In large saute pan, melt the remaining butter. Add onions and cook over medium to medium-high heat until onions start to carmelize. Add the garlic and saute until garlic starts to turn golden.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the spinach and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 6 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and transfer into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the top with cheese and place in the oven. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes or until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly.
