For a smokier flavor, use smoked bacon. Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery sauce. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, subtle note.
Indulge in this luscious, creamy spinach dish, studded with crispy bacon. A rich and comforting side that pairs exquisitely with roasted chicken or alongside warm, crusty rolls.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bacon, and garlic; cook and stir until bacon is crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Whisk flour, salt, and pepper into the bacon mixture until blended and a paste forms, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in spinach and half-and-half. Cook until spinach is heated through, about 4-6 minutes.
