Serves/Makes: 12
Ready in: 30-60 minutes
- 5 packages (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
- 4 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, cubed
- 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
- 1 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x11-inch baking dish. Combine the milk, dry mustard, garlic, crushed red pepper, and onion in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and let cook while you prepare the roux. Combine the melted butter and flour in a saucepan over low heat. Mix well and cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes or until it forms a paste. Add the roux to the simmering milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Add the cubed cheeses to the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Add the spinach and mix well. Transfer the spinach mixture to the baking dish. Top the spinach with the grated cheese. Place the spinach in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly. Serve the spinach Maria hot. Recipe Source: Calhoun's Restaurant, Knoxville, TN
