SPINACH DIP

2 packages (10 oz each) frozen chopped spinach
1/4 cup margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup reserved spinach liquid
6 oz jalapeno pepper cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon Worcester sauce

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 1-quart baking dish.

Cook the spinach according to package instructions and drain well, reserving 1/2 cup liquid.

Melt the margarine in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly; do not brown.

Add the evaporated milk and spinach liquid and continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens.

Add the cheese, pepper, celery salt, and Worcestershire and stir until the cheese melts. Fold in the spinach. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole.

Bake until it starts to bubble, about 15 minutes.

Serve with tortilla chips.
