| Onions & Spinach Side Dish I haven't made this for forever, but I remember how.
I chopped up and sauted in butter a whole onion, then added it to heated frozen spinach. Then I added sour cream and garlic salt to taste. Ooh, just looking at the picture makes me drool!
Anyone else have ideas/recipies for onions and spinach together?

| Yeah. But if you wanted, you could add ground beef for protein, and noodles for starches, and.... Yum! |

| It looks like a dip, sort of.

| It does look like dip. Here is a recipe that we've enjoyed at family gatherings for many years. Spinach Dip
2 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 envelope Knorr brand Leek soup mix, dry
1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
4 green onions, chopped
1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
Mix all ingredients well. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve it in a bread bowl. To make the bread bowl, cut the top fourth of a shepherd loaf off horizontally. Remove the bread from the center to form a "bowl". Pour spinach dip into the bowl and serve with the bread you just removed and with your favorite crackers. We like Harvest Crisp 5-Grain crackers the best at our family gatherings. |

#8 | | Crushy McSternum | On the original recipe: I would try putting the onion through a few pulses in a food processor or a blender, then making a sauce. Then prep the dish as usual, but finish it by making a cheese topping and browning that either in the oven or with a torch (think creme brulee). Then use it as a side dish for something else. Or maybe as a dip for bread.
Either way, it looks delicious.

| It's not a dip; it's a hot sidedish. But that dip looks good! |

| I love spinach. My favorite is the creamed spinach at Boston Market. I found this recipe, but I haven't tried it yet. |
