CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH

I was browsing all my recipe photos tonight. This is a recipe I had intended on posting about long ago, but for some reason never did, so here it is. This is a great way to serve spinach. It reminded me of the creamed spinach I had at Applebee's one time. Unfortunately theirs was not low carb, and probably not gluten free either.  But this one is! Enjoy!
