Ingredients
- 36 ounces frozen chopped spinach (four 9-ounce boxes)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 large sweet onion, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Place the butter, chopped onions, and garlic in a skillet. Set over medium heat and sauté to soften, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the flour and stir well to break up the clumps.
- Scoop the onion mixture into the crock of a large slow cooker. Add the frozen spinach, milk, salt, nutmeg, white pepper and cayenne pepper. Cover and turn on low.
- Slow cook for 8-10 hours until the mixture simmers and thickens. Stir every few hours. When ready to serve, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.

Notes
- Stovetop Instructions: Cook the onions and garlic in butter as directed above, but do so in a large deep saute pan. Add additional ingredients to the saute pan (Step 2) and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
