Hamburger Recipes Dairy Free

Nothing says comfort food like this Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Hamburger Helper recipe! Easy to make, so hearty and delicious, this homemade hamburger helper is a classic for those of us who love the boxed version.

If you made my Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Ground Beef Stroganoff, I’m willing to bet you’ll love this easy hamburger helper recipe just as much!

Not surprisingly, hamburger helper was one of the few meals I loved as a kid (picky eater alert!). It holds a special place in my memory bank as being a meal I always looked forward to.

In fact, I would still eat it as an adult if it weren’t for all the rumors pointing to it not being the best option.

Plus, the homemade version is relatively clean because it is made with minimally processed ingredients you can find at any grocery store.

To keep the recipe gluten-free and dairy-free, we simply use gluten-free elbow macaroni and replace the dairy with full-fat canned coconut milk. So easy, so creamy, so dreamy!

Avocado Oil: Used to cook the ingredients for the sauce, avocado oil is a great high temperature cooking oil that has neutral flavor. If you prefer extra virgin olive oil, feel free to make the switch.

Ground Beef: Be sure to use lean ground beef, or else you’ll end up with a grease pit. If you’re okay with greasy pasta (truly, I am), feel free to use a higher fat percentage. Use 90/10 or 93/7 for optimal results (non-greasy pasta).

Onion & Garlic: Onion and garlic are big flavor makers here! Yellow onion, red onion, and white onion all work. Feel free to scale up the garlic to your personal taste.

Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk: In order to make the pasta rich and creamy yet keep it dairy-free, we need a can of full-fat coconut milk.

Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk (rather than trying a different non-dairy milk like almond milk or cashew milk), because the fat content is what brings the amazing texture. In addition, many other non-dairy milks separate when they are heated to a boiling point and also come with a flavor that isn’t always conducive to pasta.

Tomato Sauce: A can of tomato sauce brings that tangy flavor we love so much in hamburger helper. You can use pasta sauce (such as tomato basil or marinara sauce) if you have it on hand (you’ll need 1 cup). 2 to 3 tablespoons of tomato paste works as a replacement for tomato sauce as well.

Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: Used to thicken the sauce to make sure it’s nice and sily and smooth, we need a couple tablespoons of a gluten-free flour blend. I use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour, but any brand will work.

Gluten-Free Pasta Noodles: Traditional hamburger helper uses elbow noodles (or macaroni noodles), so we’re doing the same here, but going with gluten-free noodles.

Use your favorite brand of grain-free or gluten-free noodles, and use any shape of noodle you love! Regular pasta noodles and egg noodles work too!

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Mine take 12 minutes to cook in boiling water, so I multi-task and cook the pasta and make the sauce at the same time.

Once the noodles are fully cooked (but still al dente), drain them in a colander, rinse them with cold water, and set them aside until ready to use.

Heat the avocado oil in a large thick-bottomed pot (I use my Dutch oven) over medium-high heat. A very large skillet will work too.

Pour the canned coconut milk and the tomato sauce into the pot and bring everything to a full boil. Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and continue cooking the sauce for 8 to 10 minutes to allow it to thicken and become nice and flavorful.

Like many pasta recipes, a homemade hamburger helper recipe becomes even more flavorful as it sits, so it will be even tastier the next day! If you have the forethought, make this recipe the day before you want to actually eat it for amazing results.

The way I see it, recipes like this are perfect for the whole family and are also great for meal prep. Hamburger helper recipes are easy to prepare, easy to store and transport, and hit all the macronutrients for a complete meal, ideal for busy weeknights or work lunches.

Gluten Free Chickpea Burger Recipe (vegan Option)

Hi Cindy! I'd recommend using heavy cream or half and half for the best results, as it will bring that richness that is classic to the dish. You can certainly use regular milk but the sauce won't turn out as silky-smooth. If you do use regular milk, you may need to add an extra tablespoon or two of gluten-free flour to thicken the sauce more. I wouldn't recommend using any other non-dairy milk besides coconut milk because they lack the necessary fat and often add an unwanted flavor (like almond). Let me know what you try!I absolutely love beef stroganoff. It’s creamy, savory and loaded with carbs, so obviously, I love it. I’ve made meatball stroganoff, and classic beef stroganoff, but lately, I find that I really don’t have the time or the motivation to make them.

Not that they’re hard to make, I just find that I want to cut as many corners in as possible in the kitchen lately. Being in the middle of our kitchen projects and having an energetic toddler ready to take everything out of the kitchen cabinets sort of forces you to be like that.

That’s why this ground beef stroganoff is a perfect choice.When I was craving some last week, I came up with this super-easy ground beef stroganoff. It only took me 30 minutes to make, and it takes just as good, if not better than my other two recipes.

Ingredients note: I used vegan sour cream in this recipe to make it dairy free, but you can easily use regular sour cream if you want.

Dairy free tip: If you’re making this recipe because it’s dairy free, be sure to use a beef base that is dairy free. Many bouillon cubes contain some sort of dairy (in the form of whey or added proteins), so make sure you check your labels. I usually use this beef base because it’s allergy friendly. Use what’s best for you.

Brown the beef. Heat a large skillet to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break the beef up into smaller pieces as it cooks. I like to use this gadget for that.

Make a roux. Next, sprinkle the flour around the pan and stir to coat the onions and beef. Allow the flour absorb the oils in than.

Make the sauce. Pour the beef broth and remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Let the sauce simmer until the flour thickens it up – about 5 minutes.

I love using ground beef to make stroganoff, but if I can’t use that, I recommend using a decent quality steak, such as a sirloin steak. Just make sure you slice it against the grain before cooking.

Plant Based Burger Recipes

Stroganoff sauce is a gravy-type sauce, usually made from thickened beef stock. It’s generally flavored with other ingredients such as sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard. In this recipe, I’ve used plant-based sour cream to make the recipe dairy free.

You can use vegan sour cream, cashew cream or even milk (plant or dairy). If you using milk, you’ll want to use a little less than the amount of sour cream the recipe calls for and add additional thickeners and a bit of acid from lemon juice or vinegar (about 1 teaspoon).

Since there is a protein and a carb already built in to this dish, I always try to serve my ground beef stroganoff with a green vegetable or salad.
