Frequently Asked Questions

Is tater tot casserole gluten free?

Yes! This casserole is made gluten free by using tater tots that are gluten free. Most tater tots should automatically be gluten free, but that doesn't mean they aren't processed with other items that have gluten. Always read your labels and make sure your tater tots are gluten free!

Can tater tot casserole be frozen?

Yes. This casserole makes a great freezer meal. Simply put the dish together like you are going to bake it and freeze it instead. This recipe would be perfect to double and make one meal for dinner and one meal to freeze for later.

Can this casserole be made ahead of time?

Yes. You could cook the ground beef, onion, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, broth, mustards, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper ahead of time. Then layer on the tater tots and cheese. Instead of placing the finished casserole in the oven you could let cool and then cover and refrigerate to cook the next night.

Top Tip

Since going gluten free I don't eat a lot of burgers with buns. We don't live in an area that they are usually available and to be honest I just don't love gluten free buns. So, this casserole tasting like a delicious cheeseburger is perfect.

This casserole goes together really quickly in one pan. If you don't have a skillet you can use in the oven it's easy to transfer the cooked ground beef mixture to a 9x13 baking dish. Either chose leaves you with a quick and delicious meal!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does gluten stay on wooden spoons?

Since wood has fibers and can hold small particles of leftover food even after the wooden spoon is washed gluten can stay on the spoon. If you don't have a strictly gluten free kitchen it would be best to use stainless steel or coasted spoons.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Heat a pot of water to boiling and cook the elbow macaroni noodles. I like to eliminate 2-3 minutes from the packages cooking time so the noodles are el dente when I put them in the casserole. They will continue to cook when you bake the casserole.

In a cast iron skillet or frying pan cook the carrots for 5-6 minutes to soften them. Poor them into a bowl and reserve.

In the skillet cook the ground beef until most of the pink is gone. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is just starting to become translucent. Add the carrots to this mixture.

With the beef mixture on medium low heat add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce, spicy brown mustard, dried mustard, brown sugar and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir and cook until simmering.

If you are using a frying pan that is not oven proof you will need to pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish.

Add the macaroni noodles to the beef mixture and stir them in. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Let cool slightly and then serve.

Supplies

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you freeze gluten free sloppy joe casserole?

Yes! This recipe is perfect for a freezer meal. You can freeze it before you put it in the oven to melt the cheese. So, make the entire casserole in your freezer container (I like to buy these at the dollar store), cover it tightly and freeze for up to a month.

It's perfect to make two of these at the same time so you have one for dinner and one for a quick freezer meal later. You can later take the dish out of the freezer and defrost in your fridge to cook it that night or the next day.

What goes well with gluten free sloppy joe casserole?

I love a salad with this casserole. Just a simple iceberg wedge salad with ranch or my recipe for Seven Layer Salad would be perfect too. You could also purchase a pre-made bag salad to make this dinner even easier.

The Best Old Fashioned Chicken Salad

This easy old fashioned chicken salad is the classic creamy chicken salad recipe you are going to want to keep on hand all week long. Tender shredded chicken breast, crisp celery, and finely diced green onion get tossed in a simple homemade mayo dressing seasoned with white vinegar, dried dill, and dried tarragon for a rich and flavorful chicken salad that tastes like something your grandmother used to make. Made without grapes and completely gluten free, keto, and low carb friendly, this is the kind of easy make ahead lunch recipe that works for everything from gluten free sandwiches and wraps to lettuce cups, salad bowls, and gluten free crackers.

Cook the chicken in the Instant Pot and shred it right in your stand mixer and the whole thing comes together in no time.

What sets this old fashioned chicken salad apart from every other version out there is the combination of dried dill and dried tarragon in the dressing. That pairing gives the creamy mayo dressing a subtle herby depth of flavor that makes every single bite taste complex and special without requiring any complicated ingredients or techniques.

This is the gluten free chicken salad recipe I make every single week for meal prep because it keeps beautifully in the refrigerator for three to five days and actually gets better the longer it sits as the flavors meld together overnight.

Whether you are looking for a high protein gluten free lunch idea, a keto chicken salad for meal prep, or just the best old fashioned chicken salad recipe that the whole family will love, this is the one you have been looking for.

Ingredients

Instructions

Add the chicken breasts and chicken broth to the bowl of your instant pot. Cook on manual for 8 minutes and let the steam release naturally. If you don't have an instant pot you can boil the chicken breasts in water on the stovetop until they are cooked completely through.

Add the cooked chicken breasts to the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until shredded. Alternatively you can use forks to shred the chicken, but the mixer is so fast and easy. Let the chicken cool slightly.

Add the shredded chicken, celery and green onions to a mixing bowl.

In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, dill weed, tarragon, salt and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir to combine.

Serve in a gluten free sandwich, on a gluten free wrap or over a bed of salad.

Don't forget to save this recipe to your Pinterest boards so you can find it again every meal prep Sunday!

Storage

Store this old fashioned chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 5 days. Because this recipe is made with mayonnaise it is important to keep it properly refrigerated at all times and never leave it sitting out at room temperature for more than two hours. This is especially important if you are serving it at an outdoor gathering or summer cookout where temperatures can cause mayonnaise based salads to spoil quickly.

Give the salad a good stir before each serving as the dressing may settle slightly as it sits. If the salad seems a little dry after a day or two in the refrigerator stir in a small spoonful of extra mayonnaise to freshen up the dressing before serving.

This chicken salad is not suitable for freezing as the mayonnaise dressing will separate and the texture of the chicken and celery will become watery and unpleasant once thawed.

Top Tip

Make the chicken salad the night before you plan to serve it and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight. This is not just a time saving tip it genuinely makes the chicken salad taste significantly better.

As the salad sits overnight the dried dill and tarragon rehydrate and bloom in the mayo dressing and the flavors meld together into a much more cohesive and deeply flavored chicken salad than you would get if you served it immediately after mixing.

Give it a good stir before serving and taste for seasoning as you may want to add a small pinch of salt or a tiny splash of white vinegar to brighten everything back up after chilling. The difference between freshly made and overnight chicken salad is remarkable and worth the extra patience every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to cook chicken for chicken salad?

The Instant Pot is my favorite method for cooking chicken for this recipe because it produces the most tender and juicy shredded chicken in just 8 minutes with no babysitting required. Simply add the chicken breasts and chicken broth to the Instant Pot, cook on manual for 8 minutes, and let the steam release naturally. If you do not have an Instant Pot you can boil the chicken breasts in water or broth on the stovetop until cooked completely through, about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the breasts. Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is also a wonderful shortcut that saves significant time and still produces a delicious chicken salad.

How do I shred chicken quickly for chicken salad?

The easiest and fastest way to shred cooked chicken is right in your stand mixer. Simply add the warm cooked chicken breasts to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed for about 20 to 30 seconds until the chicken is perfectly shredded. This method shreds the chicken much more evenly and quickly than pulling it apart by hand and takes just seconds. Make sure the chicken is still warm when you shred it as cold chicken does not shred as easily or as evenly.

Can I use canned chicken for this recipe?

Yes! Canned chicken is a convenient shortcut for this recipe when you do not have time to cook fresh chicken breasts. Drain the canned chicken very thoroughly before adding it to the bowl with the celery and green onion. Keep in mind that canned chicken has a softer texture than freshly cooked and shredded chicken so the finished salad will have a slightly different consistency. For the best flavor and texture fresh cooked and shredded chicken is always the preferred option but canned chicken works well in a pinch.

Can I make this chicken salad without tarragon?

You can but the dried tarragon is actually the secret ingredient that makes this old fashioned chicken salad taste so special and different from every other version. It adds a subtle herby depth of flavor that elevates the entire dressing without being overpowering or obviously identifiable. If you absolutely cannot find dried tarragon you can substitute a small amount of dried thyme or dried Italian seasoning as a mild alternative. I strongly recommend tracking down the tarragon though because it makes a genuinely noticeable difference in the finished recipe.

What do you serve with old fashioned chicken salad?

This chicken salad is incredibly versatile and works beautifully in so many different ways. I love serving it over a bed of fresh spinach or mixed greens for a light and satisfying gluten free lunch. It is also wonderful on gluten free crackers for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, in a gluten free wrap or sandwich, or stuffed into lettuce cups for a low carb and keto friendly option. For a summer gathering you can serve it as a dip with gluten free crackers and vegetables on a snack board which always goes over really well with a crowd.

Is this chicken salad keto and low carb friendly?

Yes! This old fashioned chicken salad is completely keto and low carb friendly. It is made without grapes, dried fruit, or any added sugars which means the carb count stays very low. The combination of shredded chicken breast, mayonnaise, celery, and green onion keeps this recipe high in protein and healthy fats while staying low in carbohydrates. Serve it in lettuce cups or over salad greens for a completely keto and low carb meal that is also gluten free and incredibly satisfying.

Ingredients

Instructions

In the bowl of your Instant Pot pour the olive oil. Add the onion, celery, corn, carrots, parsley, thyme, sea salt, black pepper and chicken. Pour the chicken broth over top.

Place your lid on your Instant Pot and make sure it's sealed. Use the Manual setting to cook the soup for 15 minutes.

When the soup is done let the steam release naturally.

While the steam is releasing mix up your biscuits in a mixing bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, sea salt, black pepper, buttermilk and egg. Beat with a mixer or by hand until combined.

After your Instant Pot has released the steam take the lid off and push the saute button. Stir the soup to break up the pieces of chicken.

Once the soup is boiling drop the biscuits in one heaping tablespoon at a time around the surface of the soup. Once all the biscuit dough is in the soup shut off the Instant Pot and place the lid on without sealing it. Let the soup with the biscuits sit for 5 minutes. This will allow the biscuits to cook in the boiling soup.

Remove the lid and serve the soup hot. I like to serve with some parmesan cheese grated on top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use chicken breast in this recipe?

No, this recipe for gluten free Instant Pot chicken and dumplings calls for chicken breast, but it's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Whether you have a leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken breasts from the night before they will work in this soup.

At Thanksgiving this soup is my favorite way to use up leftover turkey. We can have turkey dinner and then turkey and dumplings soup the next day. I'm usually feeling like something lighter to eat, so this works perfectly.

Can I make gluten free biscuits for chicken and dumplings from scratch?

Yes! They are so easy to make. I place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix with my hand held blender. If they are too dry I add a splash more buttermilk. The best part is they are ingredients you may already have on hand or can get at your local grocery store.

Top Tip

I'm always looking for meals that are simple to make and I can have done quickly. I know I test recipes and write about food, but honestly making dinner is my least favorite thing to do. I try to make enough to have leftovers, but that still means every other day I need to come up with something for us to eat.

It can be exhausting! That's why I love a quick Instant Pot meal. I can have the soup cooking while I get some other things done and then all I need to do is mix up the biscuits to plop on top.
