Cracker Barrel Spinach Recipe
Cracker Barrel’s spinach is the kind of side dish that never gets left unfinished on the plate.It’s creamy, buttery, and just the right amount of cheesy—exactly what you want when you need something rich and hearty.One thing that really makes this dish work is how well the spinach blends into the sauce instead of just sitting in it.Overcooked spinach turns stringy, while undercooked leaves can feel tough, so timing matters when getting it into the mix.A little nutmeg gives the sauce an extra boost without overpowering anything.
