A simply delicious way to get your family to eat vegetables. Even picky vegetable eaters love this dish.
Optional ingredients:
Combine raw vegetables (except spinach) with 1 -1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese and spread into a greased, medium sized oven proof dish.
In a medium saucepan, cook 1 spinach in 3 Tbsp. water until wilted down, drain, then add 2 Tbsp. margarine or butter. Mix 2 Tbsp. flour into the spinach/margarine mixture. Add chicken Knorr cube.
On med heat, stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to the spinach. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more milk a little at a time, stirring until it is a creamy, gravy like consistency. Add salt and pepper (to taste).
In a small frying pan, fry minced garlic in olive oil, and stir into the spinach/milk mixture.
Pour spinach sauce evenly over top of vegetables and bake, covered for 30 min at 375 F. Uncover and bake 5 minutes or until browned on top.
If you add 1 cup cooked rice or pasta, and 1 cup chopped ham or 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon to this recipe, you have a complete meal in one pan.
