CALHOUN'S KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE SPINACH MARIA
If you live in Knoxville or have ever visited and eaten at Calhoun's, you surely love Spinach Maria. It is WONDERFUL!! It is a great side dish but you can also use this as an appetizer or party food. It is like a cheesy spinach dip. SO YUMMY!!!!! The recipe was printed in the Knoxville paper. You can also scale it down if you don't want such a large amount--but it is great leftover!!

Chopped, sauteed greens mixed with a roux and three types of cheeses may be the furthest spinach has ever strayed from a salad bowl.
