CREAMED SPINACH 
Defrost two boxes (10 ounce size) of frozen leaf spinach. Place in strainer or cloth and press out as much juice as possible. Save the juice. Grind the spinach through a coarse grinder or food chopper.

SAUCE:

1 1/2 tbsp. bacon fat
1 1/2 tbsp. chopped onion
2 tbsp. bread flour
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. spinach water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/16 tsp. white pepper

Saute onions in fat until clear but not brown. Add flour and blend. Add milk and spinach water, stirring rapidly until sauce thickens. Simmer slowly for 5 to 7 minutes. Add seasoning and strain. Add ground spinach and heat barely to serving temperature. Overcooking at this point causes spinach to lose its bright green color.
