Creamed Spinach with Jalapenos

I tossed this together last night and my husbands reaction was ‘Wow.’ How can you not submit a recipe that gets that kind of reaction!?! Use jalapenos to taste; seed if too hot.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Butter a small casserole dish.

Step: 2

Place the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in the microwave 5 minutes on High, until heated through. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid.

Step: 3

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the bread crumbs until coated. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Step: 4

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour. Mix in onion and garlic, and cook 1 minute. Gradually stir in reserved spinach liquid, evaporated milk, cheese, and jalapeno. Season with celery salt and pepper. Mix in the spinach. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish, and top with bread crumbs.

Step: 5

Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple healthy dish .
