Lawry’s original creamed spinach

I am a creamed spinach “nut” and have been trying to find the recipe Lawry’s restaurant use, as it’s so tasty.
I finally found it and it’s incredibly easy and GREAT! A good side for Thanksgiving too.

Serves 8

6 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped onions
‘1/4 cup flour
2 tsp Lawry’s seasoned salt
1/2 tsp Lawry’s seasoned pepper
1/2 tsp Lawry’s garlic powder
1/4 tsp parsley
1 3/4 cups whole milk
2 (10 oz) packages frozen spinach, cooked and drained

In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until almost crisp.
Add the onion and cook until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes
Remove from the heat.
Add the flour and seasonings, blend well.
Gradually stir in the milk, cook and stir over low heat until thickened.
Add spinach and mix well.
If too thick, add more milk.

And that’s it! Simple but really tasty
