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!

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...

Eureka! #GFCookies #sugarcookies #fluffycookies

I always taste the cookie dough? Do you? I know we are not supposed to because of the raw eggs, but I have been eating cookie dough since I was a kid. The dough is an indication to me of how the cookies will taste once they are baked. GF dough is an especially sensitive indicator of how cookies will taste after baking. This dough tasted different than the other recipes I have adapted and I thought...THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT! May even on the verge of greatness! So, here it is. My newly adapted sugar cookie recipe. It has taken 3 years and many batches to find this adaptation. I hope you enjoy them. GF Fluffy Sugar Cookies Ingredients 3/4 cup All Purpose GF Baking Flour (Bob's Red Mill brand) 2 cups White Rice Flour (Bob's Red Mill brand) 1 tsp Baking Soda 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 cup Butter (softened) 1/2 cup Butter Flavored Crisco 1 1/2 cup Sugar (This batch I used white sugar.
