My mother-in-law makes a wonderful creamed spinach. I tried my version, adjusted it to my taste, and added Parmesan cheese. I didn't measure anything when I made this, so feel free to adjust amounts if needed.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Lauren's cheesy creamed spinach with garlic is just as good as something you'd order at a fancy steakhouse. The sauce is thick, creamy, and full of garlic. Parmesan cheese adds a robust flavor to the cream sauce. This fresh creamed spinach is easy to make and, since it has a fancy feel, would make a wonderful holiday side dish.
