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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are overnight oats gluten free?

Yes, they can be. It is important to use rolled oats that are specifically labeled as gluten free. Regular rolled oats may be processed on the same equipment as wheat flour and could be contaminated with gluten.

Does it matter what oats you use for overnight oats?

Gluten Free rolled oats are best for this recipe. They soak up the liquid overnight and will be creamy the next day. Quick cooking oats will turn out mushy and runny. While, steel cut oats will still be tough the next morning.

What brands of rolled oats are gluten free?

My favorite brands for gluten free rolled oats are: Thrive Market or Bob's Red Mill.

Southwestern Style Coleslaw

This easy southwestern style coleslaw recipe has a vinegar dressing and is keto, vegan and gluten free. This slaw recipe is made without mayo and is the perfect side dish. I use bags of coleslaw mix to make this recipe quickly for weeknight meals.

Southwestern-style coleslaw is a vibrant, zesty take on traditional slaw, offering bold flavors perfect for warm weather and Tex-Mex meals.

This salad pairs crisp cabbage with bright, tangy dressings, that skips the mayo for a lighter, healthier alternative. Ideal as a side for pulled pork, tacos, or grilled meats, it brings freshness and crunch to the table.

It's especially popular during summer as a refreshing, no-fuss dish that works beautifully at BBQs, picnics, or taco nights.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl pour the coleslaw mix, add the chopped red bell peppers, green onions, cilantro, sliced almonds and sunflower seeds. Set aside.

In the bowl of your food processor add the peanut or almond butter, water, coconut aminos, avocado oil, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar and hot sauce. Pulse until the ingredients are all blended together into a sauce.

Pour the sauce over the salad mix and stir together.

Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator covered to serve later.

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Supplies

Frequently Asked Questions

Does coleslaw have gluten in it?

This largely depends upon what type of vinegar you use. Malt vinegars are made from barley and would contain gluten. In this recipe I use apple cider vinegar which is usually safe.

As always make sure you read the label to make sure nothing that contains gluten has been added to the apple cider vinegar. I like the tanginess the apple cider vinegar adds to the salad.

How long does gluten free coleslaw keep?

Coleslaw is generally fine for 2-4 days in the refrigerator. I actually like coleslaw the best on the second day after the cabbage has marinated in the sauce.

Be sure not to leave your coleslaw out in the sun or warm temperatures so the dressing doesn't spoil. The gluten free coleslaw needs to go back in the refrigerator after you've served it.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hershey's kisses gluten free?

Some of the flavor varieties are clearly marked on the packaging as gluten free. There are some flavors that are not gluten free though so you must check the packaging for each kind before purchasing.

Why are my gluten free cookies gritty?

The gluten free flour you use is really important for the texture of your cookies. If you use a coarse ground gluten free flour your cookies will have a gritty texture. It's important that you choose a flour that is specifically for baking.

I like Namaste Gluten Free Flour, Bob's Redmill 1-to-1 Baking Flour and King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour. My baked goods have turned out well using any of these flours.

Do gluten free cookies take longer to bake?

Yes, gluten free cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a gluten flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center.

If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.
