Why I love these Gluten-Free Casseroles
- Easy & Quick to Make. The beauty of casseroles is that they are generally a breeze to make. Save time and effort in the kitchen with these one-pan wonders that the entire family will love.
- Comfort food that serves a crowd. Casseroles are the epitome of comfort food and served in large casserole dish makes it a total crowd-pleaser.
- Made with wholesome ingredients. Many gluten free recipes include lots of gluten free fillers. Not these recipes. Most of these are not only gluten-free, but grain free as well, focusing more on seasonal and wholesome ingredients that are naturally gluten-free.
- Great way to salvage food. Some of the most delicious casseroles come from vegetables that are on their way out. It's an easy way to avoid food waste and whip up a quick dinner instead!
💭Pro tip: Casseroles are great for freezing, making meal prep a breeze. Consider doubling the batch and making a freezer meal later or to send to a friend in need. If using aluminum pans, line it with parchment paper to avoid aluminum leaching into the food during heating.
Tips for Making Healthy Gluten Free Casseroles
- Buy seasonal veggies. Load your casseroles with a variety of colorful vegetables. Not only do they add vibrant color, but they also offer a range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your dish.
- Include gluten-free grains. Ancient gluten-free grains like millet, quinoa, Instant Pot buckwheat, and white rice (cooked in bone broth!) are wholesome alternatives to traditional grains. If a recipe uses noodles, I prefer to use Jovial brown rice pasta - it's the best gluten-free pasta on the market for its excellent quality.
- Incorporate nutrient-dense foods. Try to cook your grains in broth as much as you can. Chicken broth, beef bone broth, and meat stock are all rich in collagen and minerals. Swapping a quarter-pound of ground beef liver for ground beef is an easy way to boost iron and B vitamins. For more ideas, check out this post on nourishing foods.
- Avoid excess starches and fillers. Be mindful of starchy fillers and additives in storebought items labeled as gluten free. Even though it's convenient, relying on processed products may not align with your dietary goals. Check those ingredient labels!
- Make healthy swaps when possible. Even tater tots can be drenched in rancid vegetable oil and coated in potato starch - easily swap that with roasted potatoes or homemade frozen hash browns.
💭Make it Nutrient-Dense: Consider serving your gluten free casseroles with a side of probiotic rich fermented foods. Traditional raw sauerkraut, kimchi, or a side of fermented green tomatoes all help contribute towards a well-balanced nutrient dense meal. You can see all my fermented food recipes.

Helpful Tools & Links
Below are some affiliate links that may be helpful to you as you make this recipe. You can find some of these items cheaper at your local store but it helps to have a link so you know what you're looking for.
Kitchen tools: Be sure you have a good cutting board, large mixing bowl, and a sharp chef's knife.
Serving vessels: You may find these helpful as you serve your gluten free casserole recipes - this Le Creuset cookware comes with a lid but this ceramic baking dish will also work. Be sure you have a serving platter set and large salad bowl for a quick side and salad.
Freezing & Meal Prep: This Pyrex baking dish set with lids is convenient to have on hand to pop a batch in the freezer or bless a friend with a meal. If using aluminum pans for food delivery, be sure to line them with parchment paper to prevent any leaching.
Storage supplies: Have any leftovers? Store them in glass snap containers or the Pyrex dish if it has a lid.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
To store: Storing casseroles is very easy. I like to transfer any leftover casserole into a smaller airtight container and place it in the fridge. It's best to consult the storage instructions in the individual recipes but generally, most leftover casserole foods will last up to 4 days in the fridge.
Storage containers: These glass snap containers are perfect for leftovers.
To reheat: You can quickly reheat in the microwave, but we don't own a microwave and don't recommend using that as your main source to reheat foods. The best way is to let the leftover casserole come to room temperature first. Even though this step is optional, it helps to reheat evenly. Then cover it with aluminum foil and pop it in a toaster/air fryer for a few minutes until heated through.
FAQs
Generally, yes, you can use gluten-free flour in most casseroles if they have a 1:1 blend. That means for every one part of regular wheat flour you can use one part of gluten-free flour.
Absolutely! You'll find lots of great choices in your local grocery store. Jovial brown rice pasta is an excellent option but there is quinoa pasta, chickpea pasta, and even buckwheat pasta. You can also use spiralized zucchini or spaghetti squash for a refreshing gluten-free twist.
Include meats like ground beef, roast chicken, shrimp, or salmon for a protein boost. An easy way to boost protein is to add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to your gluten-free casseroles.
