ingredients
2 pounds fresh spinach
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cup hot milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
directions
Trim spinach; wash well in several changes of water. Place in large pot with water clinging to leaves. Cover; cook only until wilted. Cool. Gently squeeze out excess water.
In medium saucepan, melt butter; add flour. Whisk and cook gently without browning for a few minutes. Add milk; bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook 5 minutes.
Combine spinach with sauce and half the grated cheese. Spoon into 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Just before serving, bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until bubbly.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This is the recipe that turned my kids from spinach haters into spinach lovers! It's so good! I use monterey jack cheese instead of cheddar though. That's the only change.
