Creamed Spinach

As I was growing up this is a recipe that my dad used to make all the time. I used to never eat it because it had onions in it. Now that my pallate has significantly changed over the years it has become a favorite of my dad's many tasty recipes. It is pretty easy to make and in my opinion far surpasses any other creamed spinach I've tasted.

Hope you enjoy!
