Mix in the frozen spinach stirring continuously for 5 minutes. You may also adapt the recipe to using fresh spinach! If you opt to use fresh spinach, put spinach in pan and cover with a lid to allow the steam to work into it. Stir often until the consistency is similar to canned or frozen spinach.

Cheesy Spinach

Add the cubed cream cheese, heavy cream, and 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese to the spinach.
