Creamed Spinach Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe
Perfect with almost any meal, Low-Carb Gluten-Free creamed spinach is one of my favorite side dishes. Because it is so rich and creamy your kids won’t even mind the spinach; mine have grown to love it! You can use fresh spinach in this recipe, but I find the frozen to be a little quicker and easier to work with when creaming. If you have leftovers try adding some to an omelet for an extra special treat.

- Over medium low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan or small skillet. Stir in the low carb bake mix and salt until creamed together.

Notes
This reheats very well. It can be reheated in a saucepan on the stove or baked at 350° F for 30 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbly.
