Trying to make a regular recipe more Keto friendly is much easier than it seems. Most of the time the carbs that are part of casseroles are just for bulk. They are really just there to make the meal seem more substantial. When you are eating keto meals and that is the way of eating, you will find that the fat that is within the meal is much more filling and without the comatose feeling of those carb dense foods.
This was a recipe that I had wanted to try for a while, but I wanted to make sure that the ingredients didn’t add up to a lot of carbs so it took a bit of tweaking. Some items were changed to more carb friendly items, but for the most part spinach and artichokes are pretty low carb. It has only 4.3 net carbs per generous serving.
This could technically be made even lower in carbs if you did not use cream cheese at all. Replacing the cream cheese entirely with mayo or sour cream would probably lower the carbs another 8 total carbs for the entire dish.
