Story

This recipe is a bit of a twist on classic creamed spinach. The little added heat from the chilis adds a lot.
Go ahead and stir in some fresh grated Parmesan if you want to make it creamier and more flavorful.
You can also use this recipe as the basis for a great stuffed baked potato. Stir in sharp Cheddar cheese, then use to top your potato. Add crispy bacon pieces, sauteed mushrooms, or any other potato toppings you like. Very yummy!
