Deliciously different and so simple to make, this crock pot spinach spoon bread, is a lightened up version of one from the Gooseberry Patch Slow-Cooker Recipes Cookbook (affiliate link) that caught my eye.

WW Friendly Crock Pot Spinach Spoon Bread

Having never made spoon bread before, I really wasn't sure what to expect.

I'd describe it as what I imagine spinach cornbread stuffing would taste like, if there is such a thing. Or a moist spinach-laden corn muffin, if that makes any sense.

The Skinny on Crock Pot Spinach Spoon Bread Made Lighter

The original crock pot spinach spoon bread recipe called for ½ cup butter, which I decided to eliminate completely.

In it's place I used an additional half-cup of cottage cheese and a couple tablespoons of nonfat plain Greek yogurt.

This lightened up low fat crock pot spinach spoon bread made a nice side dish with last night's dried fruit stuffed pork roast.

I liked it so much I had more warmed up for lunch today. And may have it again for breakfast tomorrow.
