Creamed Spinach with Bacon image

My twins wouldn't eat anything that even resembled a vegetable, but they ate seconds and sometimes thirds of this fabulous spinach. I received the recipe from a friend several years ago, and it's been part of my Thanksgiving menu ever since. I usually double or triple the recipe. My children aren't the only ones who want extra servings!
