My kids really love spinach, which makes this mom oh so happy. We add it in dishes like pasta or rice, sauté it and shhh... we've even fried it! It was a mess, but spinach chips are really good y'all... Anyways, this is a great take on creamed spinach! The breadcrumbs and creole cream cheese really add a little something to it.
Ingredients:
2 bags of frozen chopped spinach
8oz creole cream cheese (if you can not find this locally, mascarpone works well)
8oz cream cheese
1/4 tsp slap ya mama cajun seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 stick butter
3/4 cups Italian bread crumbs
Directions:
Cook the spinach according to the package (usually the microwave)
Squeeze it dry
Melt 1/2 stick butter in pan and add the spinach
Sauté it and add the slap ya mama, salt and pepper
Taste test it to make sure you have enough salt
Add the creole cream cheese
Cube up and add the cream cheese
Once it is all melted pour it into a baking dish
Melt the other 1/2 stick butter and add the bread crumbs
Mix well until it is all coated- you may need to add more butter
Pour on top of the spinach in the baking dish- covering it all
Bake for about 20 minutes on 350, or until breadcrumbs are golden
