Spaghetti with Green Chiles (Gluten Free Nut Free)

Years ago, someone gave my a Southern Living cookbook called Everyday Menus.  In it, I found a pasta recipe called Beef Lombardi.  It's a layered dish with pasta, meat sauce, cheese, sour cream and green onions...and it was delicious.  But what really stood out was the incredible sauce!  This simple meat sauce was so yummy and has a little kick to it with the green chiles. My hubby remarked once that he'd just like it served alone over spaghetti noodles...So that's what I did! 

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 14oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 10 oz can diced tomatoes w/ green chiles, undrained (I use Rotel Mild)
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 6oz can tomato paste
1 bay leaf

Directions:

Cook ground beef over medium heat until crumbled and browned.
Drain and return to pot.

Stir in both cans tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes.

Add tomato paste and bay leaf.  Simmer on medium low heat 30 minutes, stirring occasionally .

Remove from heat. Remove bay leaf.

Serve over gluten free pasta.

Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free Nut Free)

I love breakfast casserole. It is my favorite breakfast dish ever. But every time I tried to make it myself, I never could get it quite right. That was until my cousin shared her breakfast casserole recipe with me. It's delicious! Here's the recipe GF! 4 slices of Udi's GF white sandwich bread   1 lb GF bulk sausage, browned and broken up  (I use Ingles Markets Gluten Free Italian Bulk Sausage) 1 cup shredded cheese 6 eggs 2 cups milk Tear bread into pieces and place in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle cooked sausage over bread. Sprinkle grated cheese over sausage. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Pour over bread, sausage, and cheese. Refrigerate. You could refrigerate overnight and cook for breakfast. I have also put this together in the morning, refrigerated it all day and cooked it for supper.  Cook for 1 hr @350. (I usually cook it about 5 minutes longer, just keep an eye on it till it's done) Enjoy!

Country Steak with Gravy (Gluten Free Nut Free)

Here's one of my family's favorite recipes! Super simple and yummy! Great with mashed potatoes or rice!  Ingredients:  2 pounds. beef cubed steak GF Flour, enough to dredge steak (I use Betty Crocker all purpose GF rice flour) Olive oil, enough to use for browning steak Salt and pepper 1 carton Pacific Naturals Organic GF condensed cream of chicken soup 1 pkg GF brown gravy mix (I use Simply Organic Brown Gravy Mix) Water (1 soup carton full) Salt and pepper to taste Dredge the cubed steak in flour and brown in vegetable oil just until brown on both sides. I have browned the meat before without using the flour, and it turns out great too! Salt and pepper the steak just a little while browning.  Place browned steak in a greased 9x13 dish. In separate bowl, mix together the GF cream of chicken soup, gravy mix and water. Whisk thoroughly until blended. Pour over steak.  Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
