Introduction

Just like creamed spinach from a steakhouse. Great with a cut of lean beef. This is cheap and easy and made mostly with frozen vegetables -- which are always on sale and are great items to stock up on! Just like creamed spinach from a steakhouse.

Ingredients

    1/2 lb. frozen chopped spinach
    1 lb. frozen cauliflower
    1 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter
    20-25 frozen pearl onions
    3/4 1% milk
    1/4 cup reduced fat cream cheese
    1/3 grated parmesean cheese
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp onion powder
    salt and pepper to taste
    2 tbsp. fresh parsley

Directions

Place frozen spinach and cauliflower in a large sauce pan with 1 c. water. Allow to steam until cauliflower is tender (10-12 min). Drain vegetables. While vegetables are draining, melt butter in sauce pan and add pearl onions. Give the pan a swirl to coat the onions. Return spinach and cauliflower to the pan.

Add milk and mash with a potato masher until vegetables are consistency of a chunky mashed potato. Bring to a simmer and allow liquids to reduce (about 5 minutes).

Add salt, pepper, and onion and garlic powder. Stir in cream cheese and parmesean cheese. Allow to cook 1-2 minutes more.

Serve with fresh parsley on top.
