Ground beef is a staple in many people’s dinner rotation – mine included! We love making tacos, hamburger soup, chili, and ground beef and cabbage frequently.
Though ground beef is naturally gluten-free, not all recipes that contain ground beef are. For example, many pasta dishes use semolina pasta noodles. Soup or others with sauces may contain flour as a thickener, which likely are not gluten-free.
That’s why I thought it would be a good idea to round up some gluten-free ground beef recipes for you to add to your recipe box. You can feel good about enjoying any of these recipes as I’ve gone through all of them to ensure they use only gluten-free ingredients.
In this recipe roundup, I’m sharing gluten-free ground beef casseroles, ground beef crockpot recipes, gluten-free ground beef soup and chili recipes, gluten-free classic ground beef recipes, and gluten-free ground beef and pasta recipes.
Before we get into the recipes, let’s be sure we’re on the same page as it relates to gluten and how ground beef fits into a gluten-free diet.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in most wheat products, and acts as the “glue” that helps to hold wheat, barley, kamut, spelt, farro, durum, bulgur, rye, and semolina together to maintain their shape.
Gluten is naturally occurring, and therefore is impossible to strip away from the grain. If a grain naturally has gluten in it, there’s no way to make that food gluten-free.
Is ground beef gluten-free?
Ground beef is naturally gluten-free food. When prepared without any other gluten ingredients, this is a safe food for a gluten-free diet. That said, ground beef isn’t always prepared in a way that is a good choice for a gluten-free diet.
Here are some places you’ll want to be watchful of gluten in your ground beef dishes and recipes:
- Seasonings, like pre-made herb and spice mixes
- Flour or roux
- Ground beef recipes that have breadcrumbs or other gluten ingredients added
- Pasta, pizza, or other dishes that obviously contain bread or flour
