Cheesy Creamed Spinach


By Sugar-Free Low Carb Recipes (Visit website)



I’m a big vegetable eater and I absolutely love spinach. Creamed spinach is one of my favorite sides, but most are made with a flour roux. The addition of flour is not necessary to thicken the sauce if cream cheese is added and less milk or cream is used.

Another change that lowers the carbs a bit is using onion powder instead of fresh chopped onion. You can get the same flavor with less carbs using the dry onion powder. I also like the additional flavor that the cream cheese brings to the dish. This recipe is similar in taste and texture to the one that is served at Boston Market.

Saute garlic and onion powder in 3 tablespoons butter. Mix in spinach and cook on low, covered, about 5 minutes.

Add cheese sauce to cooked spinach. You can eat as is or make ahead to reheat in a casserole sprinkled with crushed pork rinds.
