So, I’ve been trying to eat better lately, and for me, that means cutting out gluten. It’s been… an adventure, to say the least. But I stumbled upon something that’s actually pretty good, and I wanted to share it with y’all. It’s a gluten-free ground beef casserole, and it’s become a regular in my kitchen.

I started by gathering a bunch of recipes online. I mean, there are tons of them out there! I found around 20 to 30 different ones, it is a mess to select. Some called for sweet potatoes, others for broccoli, some were more like a shepherd’s pie, and a few were basically cheeseburgers in casserole form. It was a bit overwhelming, honestly. But I like some challenge, right?

After reading through a bunch of them, I picked a few that seemed easy enough and sounded tasty. The first one I tried was a simple ground beef and broccoli casserole. I browned some ground beef in a pan, steamed some broccoli, and then mixed them together with a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup. Poured it all into a casserole dish, topped it with some dairy-free cheese, and baked it.

  • The result? Not bad, not bad at all. It was creamy, cheesy (well, as cheesy as dairy-free cheese can be), and filling. The broccoli added a nice bit of freshness, and the ground beef gave it that hearty, comfort-food vibe.

Next up, I tried a sweet potato cheeseburger casserole. This one was a bit more involved. I had to bake the sweet potatoes first, then mash them up. While the potatoes were baking, I cooked the ground beef with some onions and garlic. Then I mixed the beef with some gluten-free ketchup, mustard, and a few other things to give it that cheeseburger flavor. Layered the mashed sweet potatoes on the bottom of a casserole dish, topped it with the beef mixture, and then added some more dairy-free cheese. Baked it until it was bubbly and golden brown.

  • This one was a winner. It was like eating a cheeseburger without the bun. The sweetness of the potatoes went really well with the savory beef, and the dairy-free cheese actually melted pretty nicely.

I also experimented with a gluten-free sloppy joe casserole. I used a recipe as a base but ended up tweaking it quite a bit. I made the sloppy joe mixture on the stovetop, using gluten-free tomato sauce and some spices. Then I poured it into a casserole dish and topped it with a mixture of gluten-free bread crumbs and dairy-free butter. Baked it until the topping was crispy.

  • It was good, but not my favorite. I think I need to work on the topping a bit more. It was a little too dry for my liking. But the sloppy joe filling was delicious, and it was definitely a satisfying meal.

So, there you have it. My adventures in gluten-free ground beef casserole making. It’s been a fun process, and I’ve discovered some really tasty dishes along the way. I’m still experimenting, of course, and I’m sure I’ll find even more delicious recipes to add to my rotation. If you’re looking for some gluten-free comfort food, I highly recommend giving these a try. They’re easy to make, relatively healthy, and most importantly, they taste really good! You know what, just do it, that’s it.

Remember to enjoy your meal!
