Thin Crust Sausage Pepper Calzone
Thin Crust Sausage Pepper Calzone
1 Pound Gluten Free Pork Sausage
1 Large Bell Pepper cut into cubes ( or you can add Hot peppers if you prefer )
1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 Teaspoon Dried Basil
1 Teaspoon additive free Garlic Powder
1 Cup (8 oz.) Gluten Free Pizza Sauce
1 Cup Freshly Grated Mozzarella
1 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan
I use my pie crust recipe for this only double. Here is the link – Jan’s Gluten Free Pie Crust https://www.facebook.com/jansglutenfreerecipes/photos/a.1671137049774256.1073741828.1671129923108302/1677945315760096/?type=3&theater
I make the dough for my crust several hours ahead of time and refrigerate it, because the dough must be very cold to get a thin crust. You can even cook the meat ahead of time and refrigerate it also until you are ready to assemble the calzone.
Brown meat, bell pepper and all spices. Remove from heat and let cool. Roll out your refrigerated dough onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. My finished calzone was 13 x12 inches. So double this amount into an oblong shape. Make sure your dough stays cold. You need to pop it into the fridge or freezer to cool it off again. ( note don’t work it with your hands, it will warm up the dough and make it difficult to work with)
Preheat oven to 400*F.
When dough is rolled out to the size you want. Only on one end of the dough, gently spoon cooked and cooled meat mixture out evenly, leaving at least one inch space from the outer edge. Do not press meat into the dough. Then pour pizza sauce over meat. Sprinkle both cheeses over meat and sauce. Now you are ready to gently loosen dough from the opposite end and lift parchment paper up and fold over calzone filling. Even out any uneven edges by cutting them off and laying aside. Then press edges of dough together. I then go back and fold over the outer ½ inch edge of the crust and press that together, just to make a better seal. Your calzone should resemble a half circle or half-moon shape. If you have had any holes come into the top crust, just patch it with the extra dough that you cut off earlier.
When calzone is completely sealed place baking sheet into hot oven and bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until top crust is golden brown.
Remove let cool for about 10 minutes then cut and serve. Enjoy!

1 Cup freshly grated Cheese ( I use sharp Cheddar)
Gluten Free Picante Sauce
Preheat oven to 450*
Grease 8 inch skillet on bottom and sides. Spread shredded hash browns to completely cover bottom and up the sides about an inch. Drizzle with melted butter over the potatoes in the bottom of skillet. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 20 minutes or until potatoes are crisp. While potatoes are baking, prepare eggs and meat. Remove skillet and top with eggs, meat, then cheese, spreading evenly. Return to oven for 1 minute or just until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and serve by slicing through topping and potatoes underneath, cutting desired portion, then dip out with heat proof spatula. Top with picante sauce and Enjoy!

Then pour into skillet and stir until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Pour all ingredients over cooked GF pasta, garnish with a bit of chopped basil or parsley. Enjoy!
Variations: You can use Shitake mushrooms, or add a bit of chopped hot peppers or black pepper. To make more gravy just add more chicken broth and double the amount of cornstarch, or you may also add butter if you want.

Lift each cube of chicken out of eggs, letting it drain some of the excess egg off back into the bowl as you lift. Then place chicken into cereal mixture, coating several pieces at a time. Place all of the coated chicken onto a large greased cookie sheet ( I use a stone ware cookie sheet, because it browns so much better than metal.) Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until crisp.

Then slice across each side of the butterflied meat diagonally about 1/8 inch into the meat several times. Just to score the meat so you can push the garlic and spices down into the meat while it cooks. I like to score each side. Using your fingers push minced garlic into the cuts of meat, then rub the spices down into the meat on both sides. Gently place spiced chicken breasts onto oiled charcoal grates, (or into slightly greased skillet for stove top cooking). If you cook them on the grill, you can wrap the meat in greased foil packets for more moist meat, but spear the foil to make holes, so it will draw in the smoke flavor. Cook for about 20 -25 minutes at 325- 350 degrees, or until chicken is cooked through. If you cook on top of the stove, then cover for about 15 minutes. Remove lid and turn meat over, cook for another 5-7 minutes or until chicken is browned slightly and no longer pink when cut through. Serve warm.
If you want a little more kick, just double the amount of cayenne pepper!

1 pound ground beef
½ Teaspoon salt
1 Cup, Gluten Free Elbow Macaroni ( cook macaroni according to package directions, except for 1 minute. Remove & drain water slightly early so macaroni doesn’t get too soft when adding sauce. ) I used GF Penne pasta this time because I was out of elbow macaroni.

½ Teaspoon salt
2 Teaspoons additive free paprika
1 Teaspoon additive free garlic powder
2 Heaping Tablespoons of Tom Sawyer Gluten Free flour

Pulled Pork Garlic Roast
4-5 Pound Additive Free Pork Roast or Tenderloin
1- 2 Cups Water (depending on the size of your slow cooker)
2 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Garlic ( I used 3 Large Cloves)
1 Teaspoon Additive Free Paprika
1 Teaspoon Salt
Wash pork roast and slice across meat about an inch into the roast all the way across, about ¾ of an inch apart. Then go the other direction making a cross hatch pattern, about the same distance apart. Place the roast into a slow cooker, making sure it is laying flat. Then push the minced garlic down into the cuts, pulling the meat apart, to make sure the garlic gets down into the roast. Pour water around the roast, making sure the slow cooker only has about ½ inch of water in the bottom. ( Do not pour water over roast.) Sprinkle paprika and salt evenly over roast. Cover and set slow cooker on low for 6 – 8 hours, or until pork is falling apart and can be shredded easily. Serve warm with your favorite Gluten Free Buns and G F Barbeque sauce. I made my own GF buns and the barbeque sauce pictured is Sweet Baby Rays, which is Gluten Free.

Gluten Free Chicken and Dumplings
on January 19, 2015
I had to take a break from the Game Day food. Randy and some others were wanting “chicken and dumplins’ please”!
Gluten Free Chicken and Dumplings
Dumpling Dough
1 ½ Cups Tom Sawyer GF/Betty Crocker GF Rice flour blend
½ Teaspoon Salt
¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Double Action GF Baking Powder
1 Cup Egg Whites, or 5 very Large Eggs
Chicken and Broth
2 Containers Frozen Cream of chicken soup (see recipe in Main dishes)
3 Cup water
½ Stick of Salted Butter
2- 14.5 oz. Cans Additive free Chicken Broth (I use Swanson 100% chicken Broth)
1 Tablespoon Argo Gluten Free Corn Starch
In medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In mixer or food processor, mix together dry ingredients and eggs. Beat dough just long enough so there are no lumps. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
While dough is chilling, add water and frozen containers of cream of chicken soup to a large stock pot and heat on medium high heat until soup is thawed. Stirring occasionally, add butter to let it melt. Open cans of chicken broth and whisk corn starch and broth together before adding to pot, making sure all of the corn starch is dissolved. Cover pot and turn heat to low, letting pot simmer while preparing dough. Don’t forget to stir it.
Remove dough from fridge. Place dough on GF floured covered surface, cover dough with additional flour, and roll out to about ¼ inch thick. Cut dough into about ½ by 1 inch dumpling strips. I know they look small, but they will rise and fluff up when added to pot.
Turn heat up on pot and let it come to a full boil, still stirring. When chicken and liquid are at a rolling boil, add dumplings strips to pot. Gently fold over liquid and dumplings until they have expanded and risen in size. That will only take about 2-3 minutes. Turn heat to low, cover and let chicken and dumplings simmer. Continuing to stir gently, about every 5 – 10 minutes. Chicken and dumplings should be completely done in 30 – 40 minutes. Serve warm.
I like to top my dumplings with freshly grated parmesan cheese. My husband likes to cover his bowl of dumplings with black pepper.
Note: You may add more cooked and shredded chicken if you wish, but I would not add more than one chicken breast, it will also absorb some of the liquid, and take away from the dumplings.

Jan’s Gluten Free Taco Soup
on January 10, 2015
Jan’s Gluten Free Taco Soup
I know you would think that this recipe would be naturally Gluten Free, and it should be. But as I have discussed before, food companies add so many additives to our foods that contain gluten, you have to read the labels carefully! That is the reason I name most of the brands I use, but please still read the labels, as companies do change ingredients from time to time.
Taco Soup
1 Pound Pure Ground Beef
1 Cup diced onion (about 1 small onion)
1- 1.25 oz. Package McCormick Gluten Free Taco Seasoning
2 Cups Gluten Free Salsa, Mild, Medium, or Hot your preference ( I make my own salsa, so I haven’t bought any in a while)
1 – 14oz. can of Bush’s Kidney Beans, with liquid
1 – 11 oz. can of Green Giant Mexicorn, with liquid
2 Cups water
In medium skillet, or large pot add diced onion, and ground beef. ( you can make this in a large stew pot or slow cooker.) On medium heat brown ground beef and onion, stirring and chopping up ground beef into small pieces. When beef is starting to turn brown add taco seasoning, and continue to stir until beef is browned. Turn heat to low, and start filling pot or slow cooker with salsa, beans, corn, and water. If you use the slow cooker method, be sure to turn heat off of skillet so beef does not over brown, until you add it to the beans, corn and other liquids. If you cook this on top of the stove turn up heat and stir occasionally. Heat to boiling and serve while warm. In the slow cooker set on low for 6 – 8 hours. Serve with GF corn chips, tortillas, or G F corn bread, and top with your favorite cheese. I like to crumble the GF queso cheese on top of mine.

1- 6 oz. jar additive free sliced Mushrooms ( I used Green Giant)

Turn heat down slightly to medium, adding carrots, pork and cream of chicken soup, continuing to stir. When cream of chicken soup is thawed and liquid, and carrots are tender. Add broccoli, mushrooms with juice, and soy sauce. Let all ingredients start to bubble. When all ingredients are heated through it is done. Serve warm over rice. I like brown rice for this recipe.

Gluten Free Steak Marinara
Steak Marinara
4 – 6 Tenderized boneless Beef Steaks (after the steaks are tenderized they are about 3/8 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches around)
1 Cup Gluten Free Rice Flour ( any kind you prefer)
1 Heaping Tablespoon Additive Free Dried Basil
1 Heaping Tablespoon Additive Free Dried Oregano
1 Tablespoon Additive Free Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Gluten Free Oil
2 Cups Gluten Free Marinara Sauce
1 – 8 oz. package Additive Free Mozzarella Cheese sliced
Optional- ½ Cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese after serving
Preheat oven to 350*F. and pour oil into large skillet on high heat.
Whisk together flour and all of the spices. Wash steaks and dredge in the flour, spice mixture. I like to press the steaks down into the flour, coating them as completely as possible. When all steaks are coated and oil is sizzling hot, place all of the coated steaks into hot oil and fry on high heat for 2 – 3 minutes on each side or until browned and starting to get crispy. Remove steaks from skillet and place in large greased baking pan, do not stack the steaks on top of the other. ( I like to line my pan with foil that has been greased, just to save on clean up). Pour marinara sauce between each steak, avoid pouring sauce on top of steaks. Place in oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until steaks are completely cooked and marinara sauce is bubbling. Place mozzarella slices on top of steaks completely covering each steak. Bake another 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and serve. After plating you can add the grated parmesan if you prefer.

Gluten Free Pan Fried Fish
This is the easiest recipe, to prepare. We like the lite coating without soaking the fish in milk and egg. This is crappie, and the mild flavor of the fish is much better with a lite coating, but this recipe also works well with sand bass too. My husband cuts the red streak out of the sand bass, while he is filleting the fish, and it does help the flavor a lot. The red streak gives the fish a strong muddy taste. If you don’t have access to wild freshly caught fish, any mild flavored fish will work with this recipe. (But remember if it has a red streak in the meat cut it out before coating and frying)
Pan Fried Fish
15 -18 Fish Fillets (about 3 – 4 inches long)
1 Cup Gluten Free Corn Meal/Gluten Free Corn Flour Mix (See Flour Mixes)
½ Teaspoon Pure GF Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Additive Free Seasoning Salt
Enough Gluten Free oil to cover bottom of skillet to about ½ inch. ( I use Gluten Free Canola)
Mix corn meal and seasonings in mixing bowl or bag with a whisk. Wash fillets, and drain so they are not too wet when you put them into coating mix. Place each fillet in coating and cover completely on both sides, I usually coat them twice. Heat oil on high. Make sure fish sizzles when placing each fillet in hot oil. Depending on how thick fillets are, it should only take 3 -3 ½ minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy! Remove and drain on paper towels. Salt to taste while still hot, and serve.

Gluten Free Chicken Fried Venison
on December 7, 2014
Gluten Free Chicken Fried Steak (This is Venison)
2-3 Medium (6 – 8 inch) tenderized Beef or Venison round steaks
1 Cup Milk (you can also use water or almond milk)
1 Egg
1 Cup GF Tom Sawyer Flour, or GF Betty Crocker Rice Flour, Or Bob’s Red Mill GF
¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt
½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ Teaspoon Pure Black pepper
½ Teaspoon Pure Garlic Powder
About ½ – ¾ Cup Gluten Free Oil (depending on the size of your frying pan)
Whisk egg and milk. Wash and cut steak diagonally into 1 inch thick strips. Unless it is venison, then usually leave them round since the steaks are smaller. Place steak strips into milk and egg. Pour oil into skillet or frying pan ( there should be about ½ inch of oil in bottom of pan) on medium high heat. Whisk together Flour and spices in mixing bowl, either leave it in the mixing bowl or pour into a large zip lock bag. Remove each strip from milk and egg and place in flour mixture to coat strips. After steak is coated place in hot oil, to pan fry until golden brown on each side and no longer pink in the center. ( about 3- 4 minutes on each side, depending on how hot oil is). I like to slice thru the center of the first steak strip I remove from pan to make sure it is cooked thru. Serve while warm. This is a favorite at our house.

2 Cloves of Garlic Crushed
2 Tablespoons Additive Free Dried Celery Flacks
2- 14 oz. Cans of 100% Chicken Broth (Swanson’s)
1 ½ Teaspoons Salt
1 Teaspoon Pure Ground Black Pepper
1 Container of Frozen GF Cream of Chicken Soup (See Recipe in previous post)
¼ Cup Pure Additive Free Ground Sage
2- 10 inch Pans of Baked GF Corn Bread (See recipe in previous post) (this should make about 12 cups when crumbled)
4 Cups Gluten Free Croutons ( See recipe in previous post)
2 Eggs beaten.
1 Cup of Turkey Drippings (if you like your dressing Really moist you can add another ¼ to ½ cup)
In large sauce pan melt butter, and add onions, garlic, and celery, sauté until onions are translucent. Add chicken broth, salt, pepper, GF chicken soup and sage, until soup melts do not boil. In large mixing bowl, crumble cornbread and add croutons. Pour onion and broth mixture over bread, (make sure broth & drippings is not too hot to cook eggs) add beaten eggs and turkey drippings. Mix well and add to turkey roasting pan. (as per directions above) Or if you would rather not stuff the turkey with dressing, you can always bake the dressing independently, at 325* for 40 – 45 minutes. This will fill 2, greased 9×13 pans, and will feed a large gathering for the holidays.
When I make dressing for us during the year, not on any holiday. I half the recipe and buy a small 1 – 1 ½ pound turkey breast, thaw it, wash it well and slice it into about ½ inch x 2 inch shreds and add it to the onion and chicken broth mixture to cook. Only when you add the frozen GF cream of chicken soup, go ahead and add the whole container. Then you must let the mixture come to a boil to help cook the turkey pieces. Let this cool before adding to bread and both beaten eggs. Bake as above in one greased 9x 13 pan.
