Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 28- ounce can tomato puree ((or 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, pureed with juices until smooth))
  • 1 6- ounce can tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons gluten free Worcestershire sauce ((Lea & Perrins brand is gluten free, at least in the U.S.))
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons basic gum-free gluten free flour blend ((or an equal amount superfine sweet white rice flour))
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
  • 2 pounds extra lean ground beef

For Serving

  • Gluten free hamburger buns, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare slow cooker: Grease the liner of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with the olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Mix tomato base: Add the tomato puree, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, and whisk to combine well.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a small bowl, place the brown sugar, flour blend, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, cumin and onion flakes, and whisk to combine and work out any lumps in the brown sugar. Add the dry ingredients to the tomato mixture, and whisk to combine well.
  4. Add ground beef: Add the ground beef, breaking it up into large chunks with your hands as you place it in the slow cooker liner.
  5. Mix gently: Carefully mix in the ground beef until combined, taking care not to break it up too much more.
  6. Cook slow cooker: Cover the slow cooker and set to low. Allow to cook on low for 5 hours (or on high for 3 hours), or until the meat is fully cooked and the mixture is bubbling.
  7. Serve: Mix gently before serving on buns or over rice.

Notes

  • Use Lea & Perrins brand Worcestershire sauce for gluten free assurance.
  • You can substitute superfine sweet white rice flour if you don’t have a gum-free gluten free flour blend.
  • Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours depending on your time availability.
  • Serve on gluten free buns or over rice according to preference.
