Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Using a cast iron skillet or frying pan cook your beef on medium heat until there is very little pink and then add the chopped onions, chili powder, garlic powder, coriander, cumin, paprika, sea salt and pepper. Cook until onions are translucent. 

Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, broth, pasta, sour cream and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese. Stir the mixture to combine.

If you are using a cast iron skillet top the mixture with the rest of your shredded cheese and it's ready to bake. If you are using a frying pan pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish and then top with cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. The dish will be bubbly and the cheese will be melted when it's done.

Top Tip

You could easily substitute chicken in this recipe if you would like. Cook the chicken completely and then add the onion to the pan to cook until it's translucent. Follow the instructions from there below in the recipe card. You could also omit meat completely if that's what works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean and season my cast iron skillet?

I love to cook with cast iron. It evenly heats and is easy to clean. I like to use this U-picks Cast Iron Skillet Cleaner Chainmail Scrubber that I got from Amazon. I rinse the pan with hot water to remove any loose food and leftover oil. Then I use the chainmail scrubber to lift up any bits of food left. 

I place the pan on the stove top at medium heat and let it dry completely. Then I pour a tablespoon of oil on the pan and rub it onto the entire inside of the pan with a paper towel. Remove the skillet from heat and it's ready for your next meal.

Remember to never put your cast iron skillet into the dishwasher.

What type of pasta should I use for this casserole?

I'm a big fan of gluten free brown rice pasta. I like how well it holds up to being baked and doesn't get soggy. I also think brown rice pasta has a nice texture and is the closest thing I've found to regular wheat pasta. 

Some of my favorite brown rice pasta brands are: Jovial, Tinkyada, Trader Joe's

Cast iron skillets are one of my favorite cooking essentials. I love how easily they go from the stovetop to the oven with everything all in one pan. When properly seasoned they are easily cleaned up with some water a bit of scrubbing with a chain scrubber or dish brush.

Ingredients

Instructions

These make a quick weeknight meal. While the noodles are cooking in my stock pot, I make the sauce in a saucepan on medium heat. I add the sesame oil, coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, tahini butter, peanut butter, sugar, red curry paste and sesame seeds to the saucepan. Then I whisk them together and heat the ingredients until they are just starting to simmer.

When the noodles are cooked according to the packaging directions I save a cup of the water and then drain the noodles. I add the noodles to my sauce pan of sauce and stir everything together. If the sauce is a bit thick I add some of the reserved water until I get the consistency I want.

Supplies

Frequently Asked Questions

Is tahini butter gluten free?

Yes, it should be if you are purchasing tahini butter that is only made with sesame seeds. I would still check the packaging to make sure it says it's gluten free. I like Mighty Sesame Co. Tahini. There's is vegan, gluten free certified and non GMO.

What are the health benefits of sesame seeds?

- They are a good source of fiber. Three tablespoons of sesame seeds provides 3.5 grams of fiber which is 12% of the suggested daily intake.
- They're a good source of B Vitamins (thiamine, niacin and B6).
- Provide nutrients that support your immune system that include: zinc, selenium, copper, iron, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin E

Description

This easy recipe for gluten free sesame noodles is made in under 30 minutes. It is a vegetarian recipe, but you could add cooked chicken for more protein. It has a creammy sauce that is made with peanut butter, sesame oil and tahini butter. I like to serve these warm noodles with lots of chopped veggies.

Ingredients

Scale

2 - 8 ounce packages Rice Noodles
¼ cup Sesame Oil
4 Tbsp. Coconut Aminos
2 Tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Tbsp. Tahini Butter
2 Tbsp. Smooth Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar
2 tsp. Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste
2 tsp. Sesame Seeds, toasted

1 - package Scallions, thinly sliced
1 - package julienned or shredded Carrots
1 - package Sugar Snap Peas, chopped

Instructions

In a stock pot cook the rice noodles per the instructions on the package. Reserve one cup of liquid before draining the noodles and returning them to the stock pot.

If you are serving this with chicken breasts you can either cook them in the air fryer at 390 degrees for 18 minutes or fry them in a pan. Be sure to check that they are completely done and the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees.

In a saucepan add the sesame oil, coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, tahini butter, peanut butter, sugar, red curry paste, sesame seeds and minced garlic. Whisk together on medium heat until the sauce just begins to simmer.

Add the sauce to the rice noodles and stir together. If the sauce is too thick add some of the reserved water until you are happy with the consistency.

Yes! This gluten free tater tot breakfast casserole is made gluten free by using tater tots that are gluten free.

Description

This easy recipe for gluten free tater tot breakfast casserole is perfect for any meal! This cheesy hotdish is made with eggs and bacon. I love to serve this loaded quiche for dinner, brunch or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound Bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 - 32 ounce bag Frozen Tater Tots
⅓ cup Buttermilk Powder or Buttermilk
¼ cup Dried Parsley Flakes
2 tsp. Onion Powder
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Sea Salt
½ tsp. Ground Black Pepper
2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
8 large Eggs
1 ½ cups Milk
Sour Cream

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with coconut oil or butter.

In an even layer place the tater tots, cooked bacon crumbles and shredded cheese into the baking dish. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, buttermilk powder, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the tater tots, bacon and cheese in the baking dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. The eggs will be lightly browned on top and the casserole will be bubbly around the edges when it's done.

Let cool slightly and serve with sour cream.

  • Prep Time: 35 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Category: Casserole
  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: Gluten Free

Top Tip

I cook my bacon the day before in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Then, I flip it and cook 8-10 minutes more until it's done. I move the bacon from the baking sheet to a plate with a paper towel to soak up excess grease. Finally, let the bacon cool completely before chopping into hardy chunks for this recipe.

With the bacon already cooked it makes this recipe really fast to put together for a weeknight meal or weekend breakfast or brunch. To speed up that process you could put the tater tots in an even layer in your baking dish, top with cheese and bacon. Then store in the refrigerator overnight.

If you choose to put part of the casserole together the night before you will need to cook this dish for less time when the tater tots are thawed. I would reduce the cook time by 10-12 minutes and then check to see if the eggs are done. The eggs will be browned on top slightly and the dish should be bubbling around the edges a little.

Gluten Free Tuna Casserole Skillet

This easy recipe for gluten free tuna casserole skillet is made with canned tuna fish. This healthy dinner dish is creamy and has peas in it. I love a tuna pasta bake for a quick weeknight meal.

I like to use my twelve inch cast iron pan to make this recipe. I love how even cast iron pans heat. What I didn't love about them was cleaning them until I found this chainmail scrubber. The rubber in the center saves my hands and gets my pan really clean.

After the pan is clean I place it back on the stove on medium heat until all the moisture is gone. Then very carefully I pour a bit of oil into the pan and using a paper towel coat the inside of the pan. Now, my cast iron skillet is ready to go for the next meal.

We love this recipe for putting together a meal that I don't have to stir and watch while it cooks. I put this in the crockpot and do other things while dinner is being made. I highly suggest topping with the cottage cheese, parmesan and mozzarella. It really adds to the flavor of the soup!

Ingredients:

Ground Beef
Canned Diced Tomatoes
Yellow Onion
Minced Garlic
Marinara Sauce
Beef Broth
Italian Seasoning
Sea Salt
Coarse Ground Black Pepper
Dried Parsley
Gluten Free Lasagna Pasta
Parmesan Cheese
Mozzarella Cheese
Cottage Cheese

Instructions

In the bowl of your 6 quart or larger slow cooker add the ground beef broken into small clumps, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, marinara sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and dried parsley. Stir to combine ingredients.

Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Cook until the ground beef is completely done. 

Turn the slow cooker on low and add the broken lasagna noodles. Cook on low in the hot sauce mixture for 30 minutes.

Serve the soup hot with parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and cottage cheese on top.

Equipment

Storage

If you have leftover gluten free lasagna soup let it cool and then store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I like to reheat the soup in the microwave for a single bowl or if there is a large amount left I put the leftovers back in the slow cooker on low to reheat.

Top Tip

Be sure to wait until the ground beef mixture is fully cooked to add your noodles. If you add them sooner they will get mushy. Once you add the gluten free lasagna pasta check it after 20 minutes to see if the noodles are cooked and al dente or if they need a bit longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make gluten free lasagna soup?

Good gluten free lasagna noodles is key! I really like the Jovial Brown Rice Lasagna Pasta. I think they taste the most like what I remember regular lasagna noodles tasting like. They hold together really well also.

These noodles are perfect if you can't have corn products too. I love that they are simply brown rice and water.

I cook the ground beef, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, marinara sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and parsley in the slow cooker on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Cook until the meat in done.

Then I turn the crockpot to low and add the broken lasagna noodles. Let the noodles stand in the hot sauce for 30 minutes. Serve the soup with cottage cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Do I cook noodles before adding to slow cooker?

No! Don't cook the Jovial Brown Rice Lasagna Pasta before adding it to the slow cooker. The gluten free pasta will cook in the hot sauce in your slow cooker. If you precook the pasta it will get too soft and won't hold together in your soup.

Can I use a slow cooker to make soup?

Yes! Using my slow cooker is one of my favorite ways to make soup. I love the simplicity of adding my ingredients and having a hot dinner ready in a few hours while I do other things.

When possible I look to use the low heat setting and cook my soups slowly so nothing burns on the bottom. If you are going to use the high heat setting be sure to have enough liquid in the pot and to thoroughly stir your ingredients so nothing is stuck to the bottom of your pot.
