Truth be told, I'm usually more fond of the Thanksgiving side dishes than the actual bird itself. I am all about the stuffing, the mashed potatoes, the vegetables.
Yesterday, my mom made an incredible creamed spinach dish that I just had to share, especially since I've been woefully delinquent on posting any recipes here. (I don't have a photo of it, unfortunately. It disappeared too fast, and my family doesn't understand the rationale or importance of photographing one's food.)
Even better, this creamed spinach is a side dish that can be made in the crockpot, making it an easy addition to your holiday table. And even though Thanksgiving has come and gone, there's still post-Thanksgiving meals and Christmas for those who celebrate such, and New Years festivities. This side dish would be a great addition to any of these holidays or your regular everyday meals.
Mom says she got it from one of her friends in the active-adult community in which she lives, so I apologize for not being able to give any more attribution than that.
2 packages of 10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
2 cups of cream style cottage cheese (Mom used small curd)
1/2 cup of butter, cut up
1 1/2 cup of American cheese, cubed (Mom used only approximately a cup)
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour (Mom used slightly less)
1 tsp. salt
Grease crock pot and combine all ingredients. Cook on low 4-5 hrs. Stir occasionally, put in attractive bowl and serve warn.
Mom says she added a little whole milk and a little piece (about a quarter) of onion, and removed the onion before serving.
There were 6 adults and 3 children at our table and this was enough for all.
