Creamed spinach (tastes similar to the chain's)

Ingredients

2-3 cups spinach ( or one 16 oz package)
1/2 to one cup cream or half-and-half (depending on how creamy you want it)
1 cup cheddar cheese, mild, shredded
salt to taste
pepper
2 tbs butter or olive oil
1/2 small onion, chopped finely
1-2 dashes garlic powder

In saute pan (frying pan or 2 quart pot), heat olive oil/butter on medium to medium-high. Add onion, turn heat to medium and saute until onion translucent. Add spinach, heat through. Add 1/2 cup cream/half-and-half. Stir until incorporated. Add cheese. Stir until thickened. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder. Serve warm. Great with side of warm, buttered toast for meal or as a side-dish.

*Aside* I love cheese, so I'm quite liberal with it. I also like salt. Mmmm. salt.
