rec: Creamed Spinach

Here's the creamed spinach I have made for years. I am happy to
say it fits into this WOE nicely. As I was finishing up tonight's
portion, I was musing that bacon fat might be an interesting
substitute for the butter. Too bad I didn't think of that
earlier. I'll give the total carbs off the various containers.
BTW, the spinach label said 2 g carbs per serving, 2 g of which
were fiber and 1 g of which was sugar. Interesting...

Creamed Spinach

10-oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, cooked (or thawed)
and squeezed out (7 g [7 fiber and 3.5 sugars}--but
see above!)
1/4 c sour cream (2 g)
2 Tbsps butter
2 tsps prepared horseradish ( 2 g [ 1 tsp is 0 g, sooo...]
1/2 tsp tarragon
salt to taste (start with 1/4 tsp)
pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and heat til hot, stirring.

Thanks Jean, sounds good. Have you ever tried it with cream cheese??? I
used to take drained spinach, place it in a casserole dish with a layer of
cream cheese and bake it at 350 for about 30 minutes. Pretty good.

No, but that sounds good too! You just put the cream cheese on
top of the spinach? Hmmm. Visions of sprinkling with parmesan
cheese. Also visions of spinach with goat cheese. I think next
time the spinach is going to contain some bacon and/or bacon fat
too. It's very tasty as posted though and probably should be
tried that way first.
