Gluten Free Beef Casserole

I enjoy cooking and experimenting with gluten free dishes and luckily for me so do most of my family and friends. I’m a big fan of simple dishes which can be prepared fairly quickly and without too many different ingredients which is why my gluten free recipes section is mostly filled with these types of easy and quick to prepare dishes. This recipe for Gluten Free Beef Casserole, which my sister-in-law cooked last weekend, is a little different. It involves a few more ingredients than I would normally use and takes a couple of hours to cook. It’s still simple to cook though and it’s so delicious and flavoursome that I couldn’t leave it out…
