Directions: |
Directions:In a heavy sauce pan with a lid sauté the bacon until all the fat is rendered out and the bacon is golden brown. Add the onion and cook until clear. Do not brown the onion. Add all the spinach and 2 tbs of water, cover with a tight lid and cook over medium low heat until the spinach is totally cooked down and all the water is gone. If the spinach is ready and there is more that a tablespoon of water, turn up the heat and cook off the excess water stirring often and being careful not to scorch the spinach. You do not want the finished product to be runny. When ready fold in the cream cheese and 1/2 tablespoon of the Worcestershire Sauce and simmer until meted into the spinach. Add a dash of Tabasco Sauce (be careful not to add to much or it will overpower the dish) and salt to taste, about a 1/2 teaspoon typically. You can add the remainder of the Worcestershire Sauce if you like. Taste as you go and find out what works best for you. |

Notes: The key to this dish it lots of high quality smoked bacon. The bacon and bacon fat flavors are the heart and sole of this dish so be very particular about the quality of the bacon that you buy. Feel free to add more bacon if you want. I have actually made this dish as a main course served over toasted French bread.
As a variation you can transfer the mixture into a casserole greased with butter and cover with spiced bread crumbs of you choice and bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees until the bread crumbs are crusty and folder brown. If you choose this route make the spinach mixture a little more moist so that it will not dry out during the baking process.
