Gluten-Free Green Bean Casserole

 

 

Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup and Gluten Free French Fried OnionsGreen Bean Casserole is one of the all time holiday favorite casseroles. For someone that is gluten intolerant, the problem with this casserole occurs first in the Cream of Mushroom Soup. Finding one that is gluten free can be quite difficult. The second problems occurs with the crunchy topping of French Fried Onions as they are fried with a gluten filled crust! So, how do you get around this issue? You have to make both from scratch. But don’t worry, you can make the Gluten Free French Fried Onions and the Cream of Mushroom soup weeks in advance and freeze them. Just pull them out of the freezer in plenty time to thaw, and then the Green Bean Casserole is simple to put together!

1/2 stick of melted butter

1 Egg

1 quart canned, or 1 large can, or 4 cups of Blanched Fresh Green Beans

2 cups of Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Pepper

1 tsp Garlic Mix

1 tsp Mrs. Dash Original Blend

1 tbsp Pine Nuts (optional, but I love the extra crunch and flavor it gives)

3/4 cup Gluten-Free French Fried Onions

More Gluten-Free French Fried Onions for topping

 

 

Directions:

1) In large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients, except the onions that are reserved for topping.

2) Spray medium to large baking dish with non-stick spray. Put mixture into baking dish, and bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 20 minutes. Top with more Gluten-Free French Fried Onions, and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes.

 

 

Gluten Free French Fried Onions

 



 

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil for frying

2 - 3 large onions, about 3 cups sliced

1 1/2 cups milk or buttermilk

1 cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon garlic-herb mix

1 teaspoon paprika

Directions:

1) Slice the ends off of the onions. Remove outside skin. Slice onions thin. Separate rings. Place onions and milk in medium bowl; let stand at least 15 minutes.

2) Prepare dutch oven or deep fryer for frying. If using dutch oven, heat at least 2 inches of oil to 375°F. If using deep fryer, follow manufacturers directions, heating oil to 375°F.

3) In resealable plastic food storage bag, mix Gluten-Free Flour mix, salt, pepper, garlic-herb mix, and paprika until well blended. Using a strainer, drain onions from milk. In small handfuls, place onions in bag; shake to coat. Remove onions from bag shaking off excess. Gently place no more than half of onions in oil; fry 2 - 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining onions.

French fried onions can be made days or weeks in advance and frozen. Let french fried onions drain, and cool completely. Wrap loosely in parchment paper, and place in large zip-lock freezer bag.

Gluten Free Top Sirloin Rib Roast with Red Wine Au Jus & Homemade Horseradish Sauce

Gluten Free Top Sirloin Rib Roast with Red Wine Au Jus & Homemade Horseradish Sauce

This past Thanksgiving I wanted to create something special for our family, and I decided to do a Gluten Free Top Sirloin Rib Roast. Even though this prime piece of beef is not as pricey as a rib roast, this is quite a nice cut of beef!

This is not be like many recipes that tell you cook it at 350 degrees for “X” amount of time per pound; however, if you trust me on this one, you too can cook the perfect piece of beef for you and your family! Choose between 1/2 - 1 lb. of beef per person. You will notice that the amount of spices is not listed; however, I suggest to LIBERALLY SPICE all sides of your selected cut of beef. You will notice that I start the roast 2 - 4 days ahead. You do not have to start it this far in advance if you are crunched for time; however, the earlier you begin this process, the better it will be!

I highly recommend purchasing an oven safe thermometer (one that will alert you without having to keep opening your oven door). This is allow you to just let your beef be, and alert you when it is done.

Ingredients:

1 large Onion (chopped)

1 stick Butter

Dash of Salt

6 tbsp Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour Blend

2 cups Heavy Cream

1/2 - 1 cup Milk

1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese

1 cup grated Fontina Cheese

1 cup grated Gruyere Cheese

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Pepper

1 tsp Mrs Dash Original

1 tsp Garlic Herb Spice Mixture

9 - 10 Potatoes (peeled and sliced into 1/4” slices)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 11 baking dish with non-stick spray.

2) In medium sauce pan, melt butter. Add chopped onions and a dash of salt. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes until onions are translucent. Add flour mixture, and cook for 5 - 8 more minutes. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and milk and stir to incorporate completely. Reserving a small amount of each cheese to use for topping, add grated cheeses, salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash, and Garlic and Herb mixture to sauce pan, and continue to cook until cheese is completely melted.

3) Just like you are layering a lasagna, place enough cheese mixture in bottom of baking dish to lightly cover the bottom of dish. Place a single layer of potatoes onto cheese mixture. Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper. Continue to alternate layers of cheese mixture and potatoes, ending with cheese mixture. 

4) Top with remaining cheeses, and bake for 35 - 45 minutes until lightly golden brown on top.
