I really liked this side dish. I think the previous reviewer might have used the 8 oz bricks of cream cheese, because honestly a total of six ounces for 30 oz of spinach it was not a lot, at all. Any way, I did add garlic and used a big onion instead of a small one one. Also, I sauteed the onion and the garlic before mixing it into the cream cheese. It was delicious. Served it with grilled lemon fish. Thanks for posting.
