Equipment

Colander
Crockpot
Skillet

Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
1 large shallot diced
1½ cups cups milk
4 oz whipped cream cheese, softened
¼ tsp white pepper
40 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp nutmeg
4 oz water chestnuts, drained and minced

Instructions

Thaw and press excess water from the spinach using a colander. Keep it aside.
In a small Dutch oven or large skillet, sauté shallots in butter over medium heat until translucent.
Whisk in flour until thick.
Let it bubble for about 1-2 minutes to reduce the floury taste.
Slowly pour in milk, then add cream cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Stir until a thick sauce is formed. Add salt, nutmeg, and white pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
If you need to transport this, put it in your crockpot and set it to warm.
