Tips for Making Creamed Spinach

• Use frozen chopped spinach to save a step. Don’t forget to defrost it before chopping. A pound looks like a ton of spinach…but you know how spinach cooks down.
• It’s easiest to snip the bacon with scissors when it is really cold from the refrigerator.
• You can totally substitute gluten-free flour with no difference in flavor.
• Use the microwave to warm the milk.

This copykat spinach recipe uses Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, a special blend of salt, spices, and herbs that adds a unique flavor not just to this creamed spinach dish but also to baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, French fries, hash browns or any other potato side dish. It’s well worth having in your pantry.
