GF Pizza Casserole the entire Family will Love

This casserole is similar to the Chili Tot recipe I shared last year. My husband is always my gauge on whether the family will love any dish. He is a very picky eater. Picky in the sense that he will only eat items that are flavorful, preferably with a protein ingredient and preferably with some type of sauce. This dish was a home run!

Pizza Tatar Tot Casserole

Ingredients
1-1 1/2 lbs of Ground Meat of your choice (we used 7% lean hamburger)
1 medium Green Pepper (chopped)
1 medium Onion (chopped) (we prefer a sweet onion)
8oz of Mushrooms
1 jar of your favorite Italian Sauce (or homemade sauce)
Basil
Oregano
Garlic Salt
Tatar Tots
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Shredded Cheddar Cheese (mild, sharp or extra sharp for your taste preference)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine ground meat, chopped green pepper, chopped onion and mushroom in a large pan. Cook on medium heat until meat is fully cooked. Drain cooked mixture. Put back in pan and add Italian sauce, basil, oregano and garlic salt. When well blended, pour in the bottom of a 13x9 pan. Cover the top of the Italian mix with Tatar Tots. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Take out of oven. Sprinkle with the shredded cheeses. Put back in the oven until the cheese is melted. Take out. Let cool for a few minutes and serve. It is enough for about 8-10 servings.

We also added a little Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes just like we do on our pizza for an added spice. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Have a Happy Heath-a-licious Day!

Everyday Eating & Mardi Gras

The beauty of eating gluten free is that it is simple. It takes you to core eating. Healthy foods. The difficulty is finding delicious healthy foods. Here are some of my everyday staples. Mind you, I love vegetables. Fresh vegetables are my favorite. Flash frozen are a far second. For a quick fun snack or even meal. Fresh green beans and Bella mushrooms. Microwave in a covered dish for 2-3 minutes to steam. For fun and food variety each month, my hubby and I like to follow themes with the seasons. This year we had home cooked New Orleans cuisine on Mardi Gras Tuesday. A great tasting gluten free sausage was our mission. We found one we love, Aidelles Cajun Andouille Sausage. Be ready, it is spicy. It is everything you are looking for in a sausage. Gluten Free, no MSG, no Nitrates, no added Hormones, no artificial ingredients. Whoo! Almost like making your own sausage. We tried Zaterain's Jambalaya mix last year. We tried Zatarain's Dirty Rice thi...

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 ...
