This creamed spinach recipe features tender spinach in a rich, creamy sauce. It's one of my family's favorite side dishes for holiday meals!
This creamed spinach recipe is the most luxurious way to eat your greens. Inspired by my husband's mom’s famous creamed spinach (a staple at Thanksgiving, Easter, and other family gatherings), it’s ultra-creamy, rich, and cheesy. If you ask me, it’s just as good as any steakhouse creamed spinach…if not better.
While many creamed spinach recipes call for frozen spinach, this one uses fresh. I love the silky texture of the whole, just-wilted leaves in the cream sauce. I think it makes this classic side dish feel a bit brighter and fresher.
Make it for a holiday or a simple weeknight dinner. This creamed spinach recipe is easy to make in under 30 minutes, so it’s a great addition to any meal.
