Egg Free, Dairy Free Veggie Rice

This is a very simple side dish that doesn't take much more time than just making rice. Adjust the vegetables to suit your family's taste. This was perfect for us. You could also turn this side dish into a fast and simple meal by adding any cooked meat you like such as ground beef, shredded chicken, or diced ham.

Veggie Rice

2 cups Minute rice
2 cups broth
5 baby carrots, shredded or diced small
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 tbsp dairy free margarine, optional

Microwave the rice, broth, and carrots for 8 minutes or until the rice is tender. Stir in the peas and margarine until the peas are thawed.
* If you want the peas cooked more, microwave them with the other ingredients. We liked the texture of the peas just thawed and heated from the hot rice.
* If desired, this side dish can be turned into a main dish by adding any cooked meat such as ground beef, shredded chicken, or diced ham.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Simple Meat and Noodle Bake

The girls couldn't get enough of this easy to prepare meal. I love crock pot meals and this one we will be making frequently.

6 potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
10 baby carrots, sliced
1 can peas
2 lbs ground beef, cooked
1 can beef gravy (I used Campbell's)

Egg Free, Dairy Free Beef and Peas with Potato Biscuits

My middle daughter, Tayana, loves dumplings and this time I wanted to try something a little different. The result is a simple to put together meal with really yummy biscuits. The potato biscuits were the highlight of the meal for the girls. The top picture shows the biscuits rolled into a ball and flattened slightly and the bottom picture shows the biscuits just dropped by spoonfuls. Either way they are great, but the rolled biscuits make a nicer presentation.

Beef and Peas with Potato Biscuits

2 lbs ground beef

1 can peas or any vegetables desired

1 can beef gravy

2 1/2 cups soy milk, divided use

2 cup Bisquick baking mix

2 cup instant mashed potato flakes (I use Betty Crocker Potato Buds)

Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned. Drain the grease then add the peas, gravy and 1/2 cup of the soy milk. Bring the mixture to a boil then pour it in a 9x13 baking dish. Warm the remaining 2 cups of soy milk in the microwave. Add the Bisquick and potato flakes then mix thoroughly. Allow the dough to rest for 2 minutes before rolling into balls, flattening slightly then placing on the ground beef mixture. If desired, you can drop the dough by spoonfuls on to the hot beef mixture instead of rolling it. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and lightly browned.

*  To prepare this meal faster, microwave precooked ground beef (I always keep some in the freezer), peas, gravy and 1/2 cup soy milk for 3 minutes or until hot. Then follow the rest of the instructions as listed.

Place all of the ingredients in a 11x15 baking dish. Stir until thoroughly combined. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender.
*  Cooked ground beef can be substituted for the sausage.
