Fantabulous Creamed Spinach

Serves:4
CarbsPerServing:6.5g tot - 3.25g fiber = 3.25g digestible carbs Effort:Easy

Ingredients:
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
2 Tbsp. cream cheese
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Thicken/Thin not StarchVege Sal (or Salt) & Pepper

How to Prepare:
Saute onion in butter until transluscent in a medium skillet. Add mushrooms and saute until both onions and mushrooms are soft and cooked.

Add cream, cream cheese, and mayo. Stir in until everything is melted and/or incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle Thicken/Thin not Starch over entire pan and stir in until the liquids thicken. (Optional: sprinkle 2 slices of crumbled bacon over everything.) Serve hot.

Notes:The Thicken/Thin Not Starch is optional, but it makes things really nice and creamy. Guar/Xanthan gum could also be used for this (although I do not know what amount).

If you don't use Thicken/Thin, it won't change the digestible carbs because it is all fiber. If you add bacon, it adds a bit more protein and fat, but no carbs.
