Servings: persons

2 10-ounce packages frozen spinach
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon celery salt
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
one or more jalapeno peppers, chopped (fresh or pickled)
Buttered bread crumbs (I used 1/2 cup breadcrumbs mixed with 2 tablespoons melted butter)

1
Cook the spinach. Drain, reserving one cup of liquid, and chop fine.
2
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Blend and cook a little. Do not brown.
3
Add onion and garlic.
4
Add one cup of spinach liquid slowly, then add evaporated milk, black pepper, celery salt, and cheese. Add one or more jalapeno peppers (how many is a question of taste as well as what kind. Colwin used the pickled kind, from a jar. I used one fresh), and the spinach. Cook until all is blended.
5
Turn into a buttered casserole topped with buttered bread crumbs, and bake for about 45 minutes at 300u00b0 F until the top is crisp and golden. If you want to speed up the browning, toast under the broiler.
