Family Gluten Free Tortilla Casserole

My hubby always says, "Adapt, adjust and overcome." It is from one of his favorite movies. We have adapted one of our favorite recipes and it turned out rather good. It still needs some work, but we liked it so much we will work on it again till we perfect it.

Family Gluten Free Tortilla Casserole
Ground meat (We used hamburger, you could use any meat you want.)
Refried Beans
Black Olives
Green Olives
Chopped Tomatoes
Gluten-Free Tortillas
Cheese of your choice (We used cheese slices this time.)
1 Packet of Taco Seasoning
8 x 8 Oven-safe Pan

Prepare meat as instructed on Taco Seasoning packet.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Chop olives.
Heat refried beans just enough to make them spreadable.
Layer ingredients directly in pan:
1st Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Refried Beans, Chopped Tomatoes.
2nd Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Refried Beans, Black Olives.
3rd Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Refried Beans, Green Olives.
4th Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Cheese.

Bake till cheese is sufficiently melted. Let cool for a few minutes, then eat.
We added Picante Salsa to our dish as well. So yummy.

I am sure it would be fun for kids to help make to. It can be messy. Be sure to wear an apron.

Have a Happy Healthy Day.

The December Adventure to Find a Delicious & Simple Gluten-Free Bread Recipe

Oh my goodness. I have tried a GF bread mix, GF flour, a mix of GF flour and rice flour all...yuck. Still the best GF bread recipe I have is cornbread. In fact, last week we turned it into a jalapeno cornbread. Now we are going to try a jalapeno & cheese cornbread. Amazing!! Add some beans on top and some GF chicken broth on top. Yummy. The Adventure 1. The GF recipe said, put all the dough in ONE bread pan and let rise to the rim and bake. Since I have baked homemade bread in the past, I thought, "Hmm. This sure is alot of dough for only one bread pan." And...it was. As it baked, it rose five inches above the bread pan itself. It browned on the outside and cooked the appropriate time, I took it out and it was not cooked on the inside. I laid it on a cooling rack like instructed, the bread collapsed. Very bizarre. I think the directions on the GF bread back need to be changed. LOL 2. I took an old recipe from my Grandfather and adapted it, adding GF baking flour an...

Make Ahead & Freeze Gluten Free Recipes.

After 8 months of gluten free eating my husband is on board to cook gluten free meals for me. He is an amazing cook. He is creative, follows the recipe and adds his own flair to make the recipe all his own. He even came in 2nd at a huge chili cook off at our church. He has created two new home recipes for me. Both are make ahead recipes. Both are freezable. In our household we like to cook twice a week. Enough to be evening staple meals for two or three days. With only two of us it makes it easier than most families of 4 or more. With these new freezable recipes we have been trying, we can cook on Sunday and have meals for a month if we choose. These recipes can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pizza Tot Casserole 1 1/2lbs ground beef ...
