Gluten Free Cheeseburger Casserole

This easy recipe for gluten free cheeseburger casserole is made in one pot. This is a healthy option made with ground beef and hashbrowns with added toppings like lettuce, avocado and pickles. This is the best quick and easy meal!

If you don't have a cast iron skillet this recipe for gluten free cheeseburger casserole can also be made in a 9x13 baking dish. When I use the skillet I cook the ground beef, onion and garlic in that before topping it with the hash browns and cheese.

This a great option for an easy weeknight meal. I like to have the ground beef defrosted the night before so I can quickly cook that up and put the dish in the oven. While it is cooking I cut up the lettuce, avocados, tomatoes, bacon, etc. that I'm going to use for topping.

I like to make my own burger sauce and that recipe is included. You can use store bought burger sauce to save time, but I highly recommend making your own. It's so delicious fresh!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is gluten free cheeseburger casserole?

This casserole is made with diced, frozen hash browns, ground beef, onions, garlic, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. All the ingredients are gluten free!

After I've baked the casserole I like to have lots of topping options. Our favorite topping are shredded lettuce, avocado, pickle chips, tomatoes and bacon.

This is a great recipe to use up ingredients you have on hand. I like to make this recipe when I have the last of the salad ingredients in my refrigerator. During the summer this recipe is amazing with fresh tomatoes and lettuce from the garden!

Can you freeze gluten free cheeseburger casserole?

Yes! After I've cooked the ground beef, onion and garlic I will top that with the hash browns and cheese then freeze in a tin or freezer safe dish. When I want to serve the casserole I will move it to the refrigerator the night before.

Then I follow the same baking instructions and top with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, etc. when it has cooled slightly and I'm ready to serve.

Instant Pot Wild Rice, Chicken and Mushrooms Casserole

This easy and healthy recipe for Instant Pot Wild Rice, Chicken and Mushrooms Casserole is simple to make all in one pot. I love using my Instant Pot (pressure cooker) for fast meals! This gluten free recipe is creamy with cheese and sour cream.

This is one of those meals that is really quick to make and since it's all in one pot the clean up is super simple too. I like to use fresh mushrooms in this recipe, but you could easily substitute those for canned or frozen mushrooms.

Ingredients

Wild Rice
Chicken Broth
Unsalted Butter
White Mushrooms
Yellow Onion
Sea Salt
Coarse Ground Black Pepper
Dried Thyme
Canned Chicken
Sour Cream
Milk
Cheddar Cheese
Sliced Almonds

Instructions

In your Instant Pot add the wild rice, chicken broth, butter, mushrooms, onion, sea salt, pepper and thyme. Cook on manual for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.

When the pressure is released carefully take off the lid and add the canned chicken, sour cream, milk, cheddar cheese and sliced almonds. Stir the ingredients thoroughly.

Serve this hot topped with extra shredded cheese if you would like.

Supplies

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an Instant Pot cook rice?

Yes! I like to cook the rice before adding dairy to the meal. I cook the rice along with liquids (I like to use broth), veggies and meat that need to be cooked.

Then after the Instant Pot has naturally released pressure I add the sour cream, milk and cheese. Adding these items after everything is cooked will prevent it from burning on the bottom of your Instant Pot.

Will the Instant Pot open under pressure?

No. You should never try to open your Instant Pot while it's still under pressure. For this recipe you will add your ingredients, set the Instant Pot to manual pressure for 15 minutes and then let the pressure naturally release.

To naturally release the pressure means you don't move the steam valve. You can unplug your Instant Pot or leave it on low while the pressure naturally releases.

If you manually release pressure for this recipe your rice likely won't be cooked all the way. The food in your Instant Pot will continue to cook while the pressure is naturally releasing.

Can I make this in a 6-quart or 8-quart instant pot?

You can use either of these sizes. I personally have an 8-quart instant pot for making larger recipes.

You can't use an instant smaller than 6-quarts for this recipe. You would overfill the instant pot and it won't cook properly. It would likely give you can error or warning and not cook at all if it's overfilled.

Can I used cooked, leftover chicken instead of canned chicken for this recipe?

Yes. You can used leftover cooked chicken for this recipe. I wanted this recipe to be fast so I used canned chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I bake this gluten free taco casserole?

This gluten free taco casserole bakes at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. You precook the ground beef and onions. Then you layer the beef mixture, corn tortillas and cheddar cheese into a 9x13 baking dish. You are baking the taco casserole just to melt the cheese.

Is this taco bake good for meal prep?

Yes! It is really simple to make the ground beef taco meat ahead of time and then store in an air tight container in the fridge. You can also use pre-shredded cheese so all you need to do for dinner is layer the ingredients into your baking dish and bake.

Can you freeze this gluten free taco casserole?

Yes! This gluten free taco casserole makes a fantastic freezer meal. I assemble the casserole per the instructions like I'm going to bake it. Then I seal it in a freezer container and freeze it for up to a month. This is a perfect freezer meal to have on hand to bake in 10 minutes and have dinner.

Can I use a different meat in this casserole?

Yes! You can prepare this dish with shredded chicken if you would prefer. You can either cook your chicken or purchase a cooked chicken. Then, shred the chicken meat and mix it with the same spices and ingredients as the ground beef in the recipe below. This is a great way to use leftover chicken.

Can I make this gluten free taco casserole for a large group?

Absolutely! This recipe scales up really well for a crowd. To serve 12 people simply double the recipe and use two 9x13 baking dishes. To serve 18 people triple the recipe across three baking dishes. The baking time stays the same at 400 degrees for 10 minutes regardless of how many pans you are making. You are just baking until the cheese is melted.

The ground beef mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, which makes assembling multiple pans much easier when you are cooking for a large group. You can also assemble the pans completely the night before and refrigerate them unbaked, then pop them in the oven right before serving.

Top Tip

I love to use the corn tortillas from Trader Joe's. I think they have the best flavor. Whatever tortilla you use you want to make sure it's certified gluten free. Yes, corn tortillas should be gluten free, but that doesn't mean they aren't processed in a plant along with products with gluten in them.

Gluten Free Slow Cooker Spaghetti

I know I cook for a living, but some days I don't feel like making dinner. I think it is a reality for most of us no matter what you do for a living. In my single days I would have had a bowl of cereal and a yogurt for dinner. When I first met my husband he thought I had lost my mind. He doesn't think it's dinner if it doesn't have meat as an ingredient.

This recipe is perfect to throw together quickly and let it slow cook all afternoon. Often I put this together during my lunch break and then dinner is waiting for us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make gluten free slow cooker spaghetti?

Good gluten free spaghetti noodles are key! I really like the Jovial Brown Rice Spaghetti Noodles. I think they taste the most like what I remember regular spaghetti 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 layer the meat, onion, garlic and sauce mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker. Then I break up the spaghetti noodles into thirds and spread them into a layer. You don't want to leave them clumped together or they will stick together.

Does gluten free pasta have eggs?

The Jovial Brown Rice Spaghetti Noodles does not have eggs in the ingredients. I've also used the Trader Joe's brand, the Great Value Walmart brand and the Barilla gluten free pastas. None of these have eggs.

It is always key to read the ingredients each time you purchase pasta. I've been disappointed before to get home and realize they've changed the ingredients on some of my favorite gluten free products.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes meatballs gluten free?

I used brown rice crumbs in the place of bread crumbs for these gluten free meatballs. I like to get my rice crumbs at Trader Joe's.

You can also get gluten free bread crumbs from Amazon and in some grocery stores. Those would also work for this recipe. The crumbs help hold the meatballs together, so they are needed.

How long do gluten free meatballs cook for?

I cook this recipe on low for three to four hours. Exact time will depend on your slow cooker. After three hours you can check them. The sauce should be bubbling and the meatballs should be browned on the outside.

I don't suggest cooking them on high because they will burn on the outside and may not get cooked all the way through. Be patient with the low setting so you don't have meatballs that are raw in the center.
