Ground Beef Recipes: Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free, Just Like Ma Used to Make (Almost!)

Alright, listen up, you young’uns! Ma’s gonna tell ya how to make some good food, the kind that sticks to your ribs and don’t make your belly ache. We ain’t got no time for fancy stuff, just plain, good eatin’. And none of that gluten or dairy stuff, ’cause some folks can’t handle it, ya know?

First off, we gotta talk about ground beef. It’s cheap and you can do a whole heap of things with it. Now, I ain’t no fancy cook, but I know my way around a kitchen. Been cookin’ since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I tell ya!

The Basics: Cookin’ the Beef Right

First thing’s first, you gotta cook that ground beef. Don’t just throw it in the pan all frozen and expect miracles. Let it thaw out a bit, then crumble it up in a big ol’ skillet. I like to use a cast iron one, the kind my grandma used. Those things last forever, just like a good marriage… mostly. Anyways, cook it over medium heat, stir it around so it don’t stick, and drain off all that grease. Nobody wants a greasy gut, right?

Easy Peasy Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Ground Beef Recipes

Now, for the good stuff. Here’s a few things you can make with that cooked-up ground beef. And don’t you worry, it’s all gluten-free and dairy-free, just like I promised.

1. Beef and Veggie Skillet Scramble

This one’s so easy, even a city slicker could make it. Just throw some chopped-up veggies in the skillet with the cooked ground beef. I like onions, peppers, and maybe some zucchini if I got it. Season it up with some salt, pepper, and whatever spices you got. Garlic powder is good, and so is a little chili powder if you like things spicy. Cook it all up ’til the veggies are tender, and you got yourself a meal. Serve it up hot. You can even eat this with some rice, just make sure its cooked good, not all hard and crunchy.

2. “Shepherd’s Pie” without the Fuss (or the Dairy)

Now, I call this shepherd’s pie, but it ain’t exactly like the ones you see in them cookbooks. We’re gonna keep it simple. Take that cooked ground beef and mix it with some tomato sauce and whatever veggies you like. Peas and carrots work good. Then, for the topping, we ain’t using no mashed potatoes with milk and butter. Nah, we’re gonna use mashed sweet potatoes. Just boil ’em up ’til they’re soft, mash ’em good, and spread ’em on top of the beef mixture. Bake it in the oven ’til it’s bubbly and brown. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good, honest food.

3. Beef and “Rice” Bowls (Cauliflower Power!)

Some folks can’t eat rice, so we gotta get creative. Cauliflower rice is the answer, y’all. You can buy it already riced up, or you can do it yourself with a grater or a food processor. Just cook it up in a pan with a little bit of oil ’til it’s tender. Then, mix it with the cooked ground beef and whatever seasonings you like. You can even add some coconut milk to make it creamy, but don’t use too much, or it’ll get all soupy. I like to add a bit of curry powder and some cinnamon, gives it a nice warm flavor. You can even throw in some chopped nuts if you want a little crunch. This one is a real belly warmer, especially on a cold night.

4. Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry (the Lazy Way)

This one’s quick and easy. Just stir-fry some broccoli with the cooked ground beef, and add a simple sauce made with coconut aminos (it’s like soy sauce but without the gluten), some ginger, and a little bit of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Serve it over cauliflower rice or just eat it plain. It’s good for ya, and it tastes good too.

5. Stuffed Peppers (Hold the Cheese!)

Cut some bell peppers in half, scoop out the seeds, and stuff ’em with a mixture of cooked ground beef, rice (or cauliflower rice), and your favorite veggies. You can add some herbs and spices too, like oregano and thyme. Bake ’em in the oven until the peppers are tender. It’s a nice way to get your vegetables in, and it looks pretty too, not that looks matter all that much when it comes to food. It either tastes good or it don’t, simple as that.
