Are You Ready for Super Bowl Sunday?

Here at Gluten Free Fox, we believe that Super Bowl Sunday should be a day of eating, yelling at the TV, actually laughing at commercials and, did we mention eating?

We scoured the gluten-free web for easy and delicious gluten-free Super Bowl sustenance and contacted a couple of gluten-free experts. Enjoy Life Foods sent over an exclusive and very easy Sunny Trail Mix recipe, while Erin of Gluten-Free Fun cooked up a mouth-watering Mexican Lasagna.

Here are some great ideas for your gluten-free Super Bowl:

• Gluten-Free Fun's Mexican Lasagna
  • 1 lb. of ground beef or turkey
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes with chilies
  • 1 can of refried beans
  • 1 package of gluten-free taco seasoning (be sure to check the ingredients!)
  • 1/2 cup of corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup of diced onions
  • 2 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 10-12 gluten-free tortillas (Erin uses 6")            

  Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Brown ground meat and drain excess fat.
  3. Add can of tomatoes, corn, onions and taco seasoning to the meat.
  4. Add can of refried beans and bring this mixture to a slight boil.
  5. Put a layer of the meat mixture into a 9X12 baking dish, followed by a layer of corn tortillas, and then a layer of cheese. Repeat with one or two more layers meat, cheese, and tortillas. Number of layers will depend on the size of your baking dish.
  6. Top off with the rest of the cheese.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Enjoy!
