Recipe Notes

To make the cream sauce:

Melt 3 tbsp butter in a large sauce pan.  Add 4 tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp seasoned salt & 1/2 tsp salt.  Cook butter & flour mixture about 4 mintues.  Whisk in 1 cup half & half.  Cook on medium until very thick.  Set aside.

To cook the spinach.
In a large skillet (I use cast iron) add 2 tbsp butter and 4 tbsp minced onions.  Cook on medium/ high until onions are soft.  Add 1/4 cup water.  Add chopped spinach in 2 parts.  The spinach will wilt and cook quickly.  Once the first half of the spinach has cooked down, stir in the second half.

Using a slotted spoon, add the cooked spinach to the cream sauce.  Do not add liquids.   Stir spinach into cream.
To finish the Dish:
Add 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese & 1/2 cup sour cream to your creamed spinach & stir.
Enjoy!
This dish can be made ahead warmed in a 325 degree oven before serving.   It can be frozen for future meals.  It also makes a wonderful spinach dip to serve with tortilla chips.  Just top with your favorite grated cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes ( I like mozzarella and parmesan).
