Ingredients Needed:
Frozen Spinach – I like to get the frozen chopped spinach.
Butter – You can use salted or unsalted.
Onion – Make sure to chop into small pieces.
Flour – All-purpose flour
Milk – I use whole milk but 2% will also work.
Cayenne Pepper – This adds a slight touch of heat to the dish. Feel free to omit if you don’t like spice.
Dry Mustard
Cheese – This recipe calls for sharp cheddar. I really enjoy the flavor it adds but feel free to use a different shredded cheese.
Worcestershire Sauce
Every Thanksgiving my mom makes this deviled spinach. It’s kinda her “thing”. This spinach casserole dish is always the one thing we request be present at our Thanksgiving table.
Deviled spinach is a little different from creamed spinach in that it has a slight spicy heat and the recipe uses sharp cheddar cheese. This recipe is also great to use as a spinach dip. Just follow the recipe and use some crusty bread, vegetables, or crackers to scoop it up.
HOW TO MAKE DEVILED SPINACH
- Begin by thawing out the frozen spinach. Thaw according to directions on the package and make sure to squeeze out all of the excess liquid into a bowl. You will use some of the reserved liquid to thicken the mixture.
- Saute the chopped onion in butter and then stir in flour and a little of the reserved spinach liquid and milk.
- Keep stirring over medium heat until it starts to thicken. Add spinach, cheese and spices.
- Spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and place the spinach mixture in the dish.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
