A healthy take on a favourite weeknight comfort food that the kids (and mom) will gobble up!

Well it’s the second day of Fall and there’s a bit of a chill in the evening air. It’s time to start thinking about casseroles, hearty stews, and simple comfort foods that warm you up from the inside out. As a kid I loved to heat up a can of Beef-a-roni, so fast and easy. Today, I make most of my meals from scratch so this homemade version had to be fast, super-tasty and gluten-free… bonus! The base of the recipe is Mom’s Awesome Meat Sauce that I sent you last month. Hopefully you took my advise, made a batch, and now it’s waiting in the freezer to be transformed into this Homemade Gluten-free Beef-a-roni in minutes!

Homemade Gluten-free Beef-a-roni_2 I used gluten-free pasta in this recipe, not because I need to for health reasons, but because I love the taste. There are lots of brands out there, but I like Italpasta, GoGo Quinoa or try Chickapea (made with organic chickpeas and lentils). If you are not following a gluten-free diet, don’t let that stop you from trying this recipe. You can use any pasta and any shape you like; elbow, penné or fusilli, they all work well and taste great.


Homemade Gluten-free Beef-a-roni_4sq Beef is naturally GF. And full of many nutrients lacking in GF diets like iron and zinc!

You can also add vegetables to your Beef-a-roni… go ahead, blow the kid’s minds! Just stir in and heat through a handful of baby spinach or steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Better yet, serve with a big side salad. It’s a fast and healthy, protein-packed meal that the whole family will love. Enjoy!
