Help! Questions About Green Bean Casserole, Canned Yams And gluten-free Brownies :)

Hi all!

Last night I attempted a green bean casserole dish. I used 1 can of Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup and it thickened right up when I added 2 tbsp cornstarch to 1/4 cup cold water, which I then slowly stirred into the boiling soup. It was super-thick when I added it to my casserole. But after it was cooked, it was water-thin. It did not thicken back up after sitting on the counter awhile. : <_< Anyone have any suggestions as to where I went wrong? I sooooo want to make a great gluten-free green bean casserole over the holidays.

Also...I like to use canned yams in my candied yam recipe, it's just faster. Are most canned yams gluten-free? The Publix and Kroger gluten-free shopping lists do not list canned yams at all. :(

Oh and one more, I'm going to attempt gluten-free carob brownies soon because I'm allergic to chocolate. I love this recipe but can no longer use regular flour of course. I was going to try using the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour and add some Xanthan Gum. Anyone think this would work?

Any and all suggestions are welcome! I've been experimenting with gluten-free cooking ALOT and getting things to stick together/thicken up has been challenging! :P

I use Bruce's Yams. They are gluten free. Empty canned juice, add butter, brown sugar, and if you'd like a little glutten free vanilla. Bake for about 30 - 45 minutes. YUM!

For quite a while my family searched for a good cream soup base that we could use in casseroles. My wives favorite dish is green bean casserole. After trying to find something canned in the store that was gluten free we decided to try to make our own. We find it to be quite desirable to the taste and fairly easy to make. I hope that this works as well for you as it has for us. Open Original Shared Link

As to the brownies, Bob's all purpose flour mix has bean flour, not something I recommend for the first few tries of a recipe, especially from Bob's. They stone grind their flours, which can turn bean flours rancid real quick. I'd say try Pamela's or gluten-free Pantry AP mixes first.

I used Beth's AP gluten-free Flour (gluten-free Pantry) for the carob brownies and they came out great! I bought another box and made the biscuit recipe on the back to go with my pot roast last night. I added shredded cheese and garlic salt and after they were cooked, brushed melted butter and garlic salt on top. Very nice!! Everything was just a wee more grainy than usual flour, but the brownies were still very good! I may add a little Xanthan Gum next time to see if that helps them not fall apart quite as easy. ;)

I still need to play with the soups for casseroles...thank you everyone for your ideas!

As for the green bean casserole, my first thought is to ask whether you used green beans that were frozen when you added them to the soup? I usually thaw my green beans first, and try to remove excess water (gentle toweling) before adding them to the soup.

I used canned green beans which I drained thoroughly before adding the casserole. I could not figure out where all that water came from. :(

Thanks! I have been trying to figure out if yams in corn syrup were gluten free all morning!! And with mini marshmallows (Great Value at Walmart) clearly states gluten free...Whoo Hoo! Oh, and the new Betty Crocker mixes are AWESOME! Brownies, Chocolate and yellow cake, and chocolate chip cookies, my hubby loves all of them ;p

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
