    Vegetable Side Dishes

    We are always on the lookout for fun versions of classic, homemade comfort food here at Bubba Pie. One of our favorite dishes to look for are side dishes. We often love them just as much, if not more, that a main course!

    And vegetable side dishes rule! From Honey Glazed Carrots, and Cheesy Fried Grit Cakes to Cauliflower Au Gratin and Green Bean Casserole, the perfect side dish can make all the difference!

    Two of our most popular Vegetable Side Dishes is our Creamed Peas and Creamed Corn. So, we thought we’d share a similar recipe today with our Classic Creamed Spinach!

    Creamed Spinach

    Even if you aren’t a huge fan of Spinach (disclaimer: I LOVE spinach) you will love this recipe. It’s creamy, rich and I promise you won’t even consider this a “Spinach” dish after you’ve tried it.

    I love that it’s packed with basic, wholesome, hearty and homemade ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen! And it’s something that you can throw together in minutes.

    It’s a popular Holiday Side Dish, but it’s really at home on your dinner table anytime during the year! And it’s a Low Carb dish too, so it’s great if you are trying to reduce carbohydrates.

    Easy Creamed Spinach

    Ready to get started? Here is what you’ll need:

    • 1/2 stick, 4 tablespoons butter
    • 4 tablespoons flour
    • 1/4 cup diced onion
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • salt and pepper
    • pinch nutmeg
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 1 package, 8 oz, fresh spinach

    Creamed Spinach Notes, Tips and Suggestions

    • CAN YOU USE FROZEN SPINACH?– Yep! You sure can. Just make sure you thaw it out and get as much moisture out as possible. You can thaw frozen spinach pretty quickly by running it under warm water.
    • MAKE IT EXTRA CREAMY?- We used whole milk for this recipe. You can sub for half and half or even heavy cream to make this dish even creamier. Obviously, the scale in your bathroom may not appreciate this substitution, but your taste buds will. I would not sub for anything “skinnier” than whole milk in this recipe (2%, non-fat, etc.. ).
    • SALT AND PEPPER-  This is one of those recipes that when we say “salt and pepper to taste” we really mean it. Putting the right amount of salt and pepper in this dish can really make it shine. So, don’t be shy about tasting it as you are seasoning it!

    I hope you enjoy this Creamed Spinach Recipe. Let me know how it turns out in the comments below! Happy Eating!
