Sauteed Spinach With Red Onion, Bacon & Blue Cheese image

We love this recipe, it's so good and easy to make. If making 4 servings it works better to use a Dutch oven instead of a large skillet, and add 1 to 2 minutes to the spinach-cooking time. Leave out the bacon for a vegetarian dish. The recipe comes from Eatingwell.com.

  • Stir the spinach frequently: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the spinach from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the spinach to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Sautéed spinach is best served fresh, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
