Quick & Easy Gluten Free » Potatoes http://www.gluten-recipes.com Recipes the whole family will enjoy Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:42:53 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Baked Vegetable Layers http://www.gluten-recipes.com/gluten-free-recipes/baked-vegetable-layers http://www.gluten-recipes.com/gluten-free-recipes/baked-vegetable-layers#comments Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:58:07 +0000 Debra http://www.gluten-recipes.com/?p=106 This recipe is a quick and easy way to get potatoes and vegetables ready for supper. If you don’t have zucchini, you could substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand. Just slice them thinly so they cook quickly.

It’s adapted from The 250 Best 4-Ingredient Recipes by Margaret Howard, in which I’ve found many excellent meal ideas.

If you’ve got a meat or poultry main dish planned for tonight, this would make a very tasty side dish.

It’s safely stored in the freezer, so we have a couple of months to use it, before the quality starts to decline.

This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, with ingredients that the chef likes. It’s from a recipe booklet by Betty Crocker in September 1996 — Casseroles & One-Dish Meals.

It has that familiar Sloppy Joe taste, but it’s not as messy to eat, and more nutritious than regular Sloppy Joe in a hamburger bun. If you don’t have Sloppy Joe mix, you could use plain tomato sauce, and a few herbs and spices instead.

Use a food processor or mandolin to slice the potatoes so they’re really thin, and all the same thickness. Otherwise some of them might be a bit crunchy.

Sloppy Joe Skillet Dinner

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1-1/2 cups whole kernel corn
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (15-1/2 oz) Sloppy Joe sauce (gluten free)
  1. Crumble the beef into a 10″ skillet.
  2. Sprinkle corn over the beef.
  3. Layer onion and potatoes on corn.
  4. Pour Sloppy Joe sauce over top.
  5. Cover and cook over low heat, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink in centre and potatoes are tender.

Makes 4 servings.
