Lawry’s Creamed Spinach
Description
This creamed spinach recipe combines frozen chopped spinach with a creamy sauce featuring finely chopped bacon and minced onion sautéed together to build flavor. The flour, milk, and seasonings are whisked into a paste and thickened on medium heat, resulting in a smooth, thickened sauce that coats the spinach evenly. The Lawry's seasoned salt provides a distinctive seasoning blend that complements the dish.
The finished creamed spinach offers a balance of the tender cooked greens with the salty, smoky bacon bits and a creamy texture from the milk sauce. Garlic adds aromatic depth, while the black pepper provides subtle warmth. It can be kept warm until serving, making it a practical side to accompany meats or other main dishes.
