Beef Stroganof over Noodles

Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Main Meals, Gluten Free Main Meals with Beef

My (in)famously easy-peasy recipes.  It is a sure fire hit with the kids as long as the mushroom pieces aren’t visible.  And with Campbell’s Premium Ready-to-Serve tetri packs in Canada, the mushrooms are teeny tiny.  Which suits my don’t-know-better kids and their mother too.  This is the perfect meal for a surprise dinner guest as well – easily expandable.  And a nice warm winter comfort-food for many.   (many who like meat, that is)

Ingredients:

  • gluten-free mushroom soup (1 liter)
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 pkg GF onion soup mix
  • 1lb ground beef
  • 450g of rice noodles, cooked according to pkg directions.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions:

  • scramble fry beef in large skillet, add onions, and fry until golden.
  • add soups, add water if necessary, cover and simmer 5 minutes – until warmed through
  • cook noodles according to pkg directions
  • Remove beef mixture from heat, stir in sour cream and serve over noodles.

Let me know what you think!

Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Main Meals

I love this combination with mushroom soup and onion soup mix – creamy, comforting, with a little onion zing.  Yummy.

  • 1 large can prepared GF mushroom soup
  • 1 pkg onion soup mix
  • 1/2 can of rice
  • 1/2 can of water (extra 1/4 can of water if brown rice)
  1. Stir all of it up.
  2. Pour into casserole dish.
  3. Cover, cook at 350°F for 1hour (2 hrs if brown rice).

I added 2 braised pork tenderloins (approx 1.5 lbs) to this and it was officially yuuuuumy.

Hot & Hearty Stew

Nov 18
Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Main Meals

As far as I can tell, this would have to be eaten in moderation since I use regular stewing beef.  If you used a leaner cut (sirloin?) this would be a very healthy meal.

Toss in the frying pan to sear:

  • 1lb stewing meat cut into bite size pieces

Toss into Crockpot/ Slow Cooker:

  • 3-4 potatoes, cut into chunks,
  • 4 carrots, cut into chunks,
  • 1 onion, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 2 tablespoons beef bouillon
  • 2 bay leaves
  • (dash worcestershire if you happen to be in the states)
  • 3 Tablespoons onion soup mix, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (only a few are GF!)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  1. Sear meat for 3-4 minutes over med-high heat, stirring continuously.
  2. Put into slow cooker with other ingredients.
  3. Turn on medium for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
  4. Mix together 2 Tablespoons corn starch, and 4 tablespoons COLD water.  Pour into stew while stirring to thicken.  Remove from heat.
  5. Enjoy with a GF English Muffin (from the freezer), fresh bread or for a treat – Baking Powder Biscuits.
