Gluten Free Easy Peach Cobbler

I needed a quick dessert for company and decided to convert a recipe to gluten free. As I was watching it bake I became concerned because the batter on the bottom didn't rise up over the peaches. I added the topping and baked for fifteen minutes more and it looked better but still not as I first thought it would. I didn't have much time so I served it to our company anyway. It was delicious! The bottom was a little crunchy with a light sweet filling with peaches mingled in and the top was brown and syrupy like homemade candy. I will be making it again in the future.

Gluten Free Easy Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

Batter:

1 cup Gluten Free Bisquick
1 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Filling:

  1 (29 ounce) can peach slices in heavy syrup
  1/4 cup sugar

Topping:

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon softened butter
sliced almonds

Directions:

Mix all batter ingredients in a bowl with wisk until well incorporated and light. Pour into non greased 8 x 8 baking pan.

Drain peaches and save two tablespoon of the syrup and mix with sugar until it has dissolved. Spoon peaches over batter and pour sugar, syrup mixture over peaches.

Place into 375 degree oven for 45 minutes. While cobbler is cooking mix all topping ingredients with hands slightly breaking up almonds as you go.
While leaving cobbler in oven, place crumble topping over cobbler and bake another 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully so that nuts do not burn.

Great with ice cream!

Another Fantastic Meatloaf

I love meatloaf but this was a first. When I first saw that people use milk and oats in their meatloaf I wasn't hip on the idea but today I felt adventurous and decided to try it. All it could do was fail and it's not like that's never happened before. It didn't fail and I will be making it again! We loved it...


Another Fantastic Meatloaf

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • ¾ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup oatmeal, uncooked (I used gluten free oats)
  • 3 finely chopped green onions
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley flakes (I use Penzey's brand)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 lbs. ground beef or venison (I used venison)
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl combine eggs and milk; stir in oatmeal, onion, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Add beef or venison; mix lightly
  3. I place mine on a grill pan and baked for 45 minutes. While loaf is baking, in a small bowl combine ketchup, sugar, and mustard; spread over meat after 45 minutes and bake for 15 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into slices.
