    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a walking taco made of?

    A traditional walking taco is made in the bag of chips. Most use a single serving size bag of Doritos or Frito chips. This casserole uses the same concept of being an easy one dish meal, but is made in a skillet or baking dish rather than in the chip bag.

    I topped this walking taco casserole with gluten free tortilla chips, lettuce, tomatoes, olives and extra cheddar cheese. You could substitute a different type of gluten free chip and also add avocado on top too.

    How long do I bake this gluten free taco casserole?

    This gluten free taco casserole bakes at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. You precook the ground beef and onions. You are baking the walking taco casserole just to melt the cheese.

    Gluten Free Scotch Eggs with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

    This easy recipe for oven baked gluten free scotch eggs with honey mustard dipping sauce is made with boiled eggs, sausage and gluten free bread crumbs. The scotch eggs are delicious on their own, but the special sauce makes them even better. I used turkey sausage for mine, but you could also use pork sausage for a rich treat.

    a blue floral plate with five scotch eggs next to a small white bowl of honey mustard dipping sauce.

    For the recipe I split one pound of sausage into five equal sections. Then, I flatten the section in my hand as evenly as possible. I wrap the sausage around the boiled egg (with the shell removed) and make sure the entire outside of the egg is coated.

    Next in a small bowl I have one egg that is beaten. I roll the sausage coated egg in the beaten egg and then roll it in the gluten free bread crumbs. Place the final product on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The outside will be browned and the sausage will be completely cooked when the scotch egg is done.

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Ingredients

    • Turkey Sausage or Pork Sausage
    • Eggs
    • Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
    • Sea Salt
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Mayonnaise
    • Spicy Brown Mustard
    • Honey

    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

    In a small bowl mix the gluten free bread crumbs, salt and pepper.

    In another small bowl lightly beat the egg for rolling the scotch eggs in.

    Divide the pound of ground sausage into five portions. Take a portion and flatten it out evenly in your hand. Wrap the sausage patty around the egg until the entire surface of the egg is covered.

    Roll the sausage wrapped egg in the beaten and egg and then the crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat this step four more times. Be sure to leave room between each egg so they cook evenly.

    Bake the scotch eggs at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. The eggs will be browned and the juice around them will be clear or slightly browned when they are done.

    While the scotch eggs are baking make the honey mustard dipping sauce. In a bowl or jar add the mayonnaise, mustard and honey. Using a whisk or immersion blender blend the ingredients together until smooth and combined. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

    Let the scotch eggs cool slightly and then remove them from the baking sheet with a turner.

    Serve them immediately warm with the dipping sauce or refrigerate them for at least 2 hours and serve cold with the dipping sauce.

    Notes

    I like to save my mayonnaise jars for making sauces and dressings in. They work perfectly with an immersion blender and then one container can go directly into the fridge. I love less mess!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is a Scotch egg called a Scotch egg?

    Mincing meat is also known as scotching. This recipe is made of eggs coated in minced or scotched meat, rolled in egg and then gluten free bread crumbs. Traditionally the recipe uses pork sausage, but I used turkey sausage for mine.

    Do I eat my scotch eggs hot or cold?

    This is really based on personal preference. I love to eat these gluten free scotch eggs hot, but traditionally scotch eggs are picnic or pub food and are served cold. I like to eat one warm right after I make them and then wrap the rest in tinfoil and have them cold the next day for breakfast.

This is one of those weeknight dinners that deserves a permanent spot in your dinner rotation, so pin it to your favorite Pinterest board so you always know where to find it. And if you have a friend who loves easy gluten free dinners, share this recipe with them too!

    Storage

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The pasta will absorb some of the sauce as it sits, so when reheating add a splash of milk, cream, or beef broth to loosen it back up. Reheat on the stovetop over medium low heat or in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until heated through.

    Top Tip

    Reserve one cup of pasta water before you drain the noodles and do not skip this step. The starchy pasta water is the easiest way to loosen the sauce to the perfect consistency without watering down the flavor. Add it one splash at a time until the sauce coats every noodle just right.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What type of pasta should I use for this recipe?

    I used Jovial Gluten Free Brown Rice Pasta Egg Tagliatelle noodles for this gluten free creamy beef and mushroom pasta recipe. They are very similar in texture to regular egg noodles.

    I boil the noodles while I cook the ground beef and make the sauce. Then, I add the gluten free egg noodles to the sauce mixture and use tongs to coat the pasta. I serve the pasta hot with some dried parsley sprinkled on top.

    Do I need to thicken beef stroganoff with flour?

    This recipe for ground beef and mushroom stroganoff does not need to be thickened with flour. I brown the ground beef, cook the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Then, add the spices, gluten free Worcestershire sauce, sour cream and cheese.

    The sauce will thicken quickly while cooking over medium low heat. If the sauce gets too thick I add heavy cream, milk or beef broth one tablespoon at a time until the sauce is the consistency I want.

    Ingredients

    • Cannellini Beans
    • Minced Garlic
    • Carrots
    • Yellow Onion
    • Olive Oil
    • Sea Salt
    • Italian Seasoning
    • Dried Basil
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Italian Style Turkey Sausage
    • Diced Tomatoes
    • Kale
    • Bay Leaves
    • Gluten Free Pasta Shells
    • Chicken Broth
    • Parmesan Cheese

    Instructions

    Set your Instant Pot to saute and add olive oil to the pot. Add the garlic, carrots and onion to the pot and saute until the onion is translucent and the carrots are beginning to soften. 

    Add the rinsed beans, salt, Italian seasoning, dried basil, pepper, diced tomatoes, crumbled sausage, kale, bay leaves and broth. Stir to combine. 

    Add the uncooked pasta on top, but do not stir to combine. Gently press the pasta down a little until it is covered in liquid. This will prevent your pasta from burning on the bottom of the pot.

    Secure the lid and set to not vent. Using the manual setting cook for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and then manually release the steam.

    Carefully remove the lid. Remove the bay leaves. Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir into the soup.

    Serve the soup hot with more parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

    Supplies

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I clean my instant pot after cooking savory dishes?

    After using your instant pot for savory dishes or in this case using spices you may notice that the silicone ring in the lid has an odor. This is simple to take care of!

    Wash the metal pot insert by hand or in the dishwasher. Remove the rubber seal from the lid and wash both the lid (don't submerge the lid in water) and the ring. Place the ring back into the lid.

    Put the metal pot into the pressure cooker. Add one cup water and one cup white vinegar to the metal pot. Place the lid on the pot and seal. Manually cook for 3 minutes. Let the steam release naturally.

    After the liquid has cooled, dump it out and rinse the pot, lid and seal. Your pot, lid and seal shouldn't have any lingering odors.

    Do I have to use turkey sausage in this recipe?

    No. You could omit the turkey sausage and still have a delicious soup. Since the turkey sausage I used for this recipe had some Italian seasonings added I would increase the Italian seasoning in this recipe to 2 teaspoons.

    You could also use unseasoned sausage and also add the extra Italian seasoning to get the same flavor. I like to add the meat to this recipe to make it extra hearty with more protein, but that is completely optional.

    Ingredients

    • Baby Potatoes
    • Avocado Oil
    • Sea Salt
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Pesto or use my Gluten Free Homemade Walnut Pesto Recipe
    • Parmesan Cheese

    Instructions

    Wash the baby potatoes and then cut them all in half. If some of the baby potatoes are a lot larger than the others you may need to cut them into quarters. It's important that the potato chunks are all about the same size so they cook evenly.

    In a large bowl add the cut baby potatoes, avocado oil, salt and pepper. Mix to coat the potatoes in oil and seasoning.

    Description

    This easy recipe for air fryer pesto baby potatoes make perfectly roasted potatoes and uses a basil pesto sauce. Using an air fryer, the baby red potatoes come out crispy on the outiside and fluffy on the inside. These make a perfect side dish or meal!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1.5 pounds Baby Potatoes, cut in half
    • 2 Tbsp. Avocado Oil
    • ½ tsp. Sea Salt
    • ¼ tsp. Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • ½ cup Pesto or my Gluten Free Homemade Walnut Pesto Recipe
    • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

    Instructions

    Wash the baby potatoes and then cut them all in half. If some of the baby potatoes are a lot larger than the others you may need to cut them into quarters. It's important that the potato chunks are all about the same size so they cook evenly.

    In a large bowl add the cut baby potatoes, avocado oil, salt and pepper. Mix to coat the potatoes in oil and seasoning.

    Pour the potato mixture evenly into the basket of your air fryer. Air Fry at 390 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Shake the air fryer basket once or twice in the middle of cooking to make sure all of the potatoes get browned. Test the largest potato piece with a fork to make sure it's done. If it's not done air fryer for 2-3 minutes more.

    Pour hot potatoes back into a large bowl. Add the pesto and grated parmesan cheese. Stir the mixture to melt the cheese and coat the potatoes.

    Serve immediately warm or serve cold.

    Notes

    You could use regular sized potatoes for this recipe. Make sure all the chunks of cut potato are evenly sized.

    Top Tip

    For the pesto in this recipe I either use this Barilla Rustic Basil Pesto or I use my recipe for Gluten Free Homemade Walnut Pesto. One of my favorite things to grow in the garden, flower beds and containers is basil. It's really easy to start from seed, is prolific all summer long and makes delicious fresh pesto.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does an air fryer work without oil?

    Regular fryers use oil to cook your food. An air fryer uses circulated air to evenly cook your food without the need for oil. This eliminates excess oils and the calories that come with them!
     
    I like to either spray oil onto what I'm frying or use oil in the recipe to help seasoning stick to your food. For this recipe I mix the ingredients with avocado oil so that helps the spices stick to the potatoes. This little bit of oil will also help the outside of the potatoes get a nice crispiness.

    How do I clean my air fryer?

    Air fryers are so easy to clean! Remove the basket from the air fryer and take the tray out of the basket. Using soap and water wash the two parts and rinse clean. Do not submerge your air fryer unit in water.

    If the inside of your air fryer is dirty you can lightly wipe clean with a wet cloth. I rarely notice the inside of my air fryer needing to be cleaned. Usually this only happens if I overfill the basket.
