Creamed Spinach for a Small Family

I had only one package of spinach and didn’t have onion so I added a bit more garlic and onion powder, forgot the flour, and used just one tablespoon butter. This was easy, quick (defrosted spinach in microwave), and done when the steaks came off the grill. Perfect quick and fancy side dish for a steakhouse dinner at diner prices. I would definitely serve this again and add the onion and cheese or breadcrumbs. Tomorrow, soup for one.

Step: 1

Heat soup in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir butter, flour, garlic salt, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into soup; add spinach, stir, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. When you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can made a dish do double-duty .
