Does anybody know if these exist commercially at all? I've looked around on Google and Amazon and haven't found any.

I don't think so. They are actual onion rings.

 

I too just make my own. It is't hard at all.

I never put Ian's on top of Bean casserole , I just always did my own for the casserole.. But I do know people who put Funyuns ( snack food) on top of the casserole & have done that for many years......funyuns are gluten-free...

I'm trying to figure out how to make Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving too.  Anyone find a good substitute for the cream of mushroom soup??  I'm going to make crispy onions somehow, maybe just slow cook them in the oven until crisp??  I could try frying them too.  I would think if you cooked the onion rings long enough in the oven they would be pretty crispy.  Not exactly the same but they would work in a pinch.

progresso  makes a  gluten-free  mushroom soup  , pacific brand has a  condensed  mushroom soup  in a  small box., Full Flavor Foods  has a  mushroom  dry  soup you add  water to...

Yes,  you  can  use a little oil   to coat  the onion  rings  then dip  in  gluten-free  flour  with  some  favorite  spices  & bake  until crisp in the  oven. I bake at  400 ...

Others  use  potato chips  , crushed  chex  instead  of  fried  onions...

 

If  you  are  concerned  about  the progresso  soup  not  being  thick  enough  just  add  a  tbsp.  or two of  cornstarch but  we just  used  it  straight  from  can  &  it  thickened  up  while  baking.....

Alton Brown's recipe- I alter it for D, E, PN, TN and Gluten-Free!

Back when I ate dairy, I loved the Pacific Foods mushroom soup. That is a great consistency for recipes! 

Now that I'm DF, I like this tutorial.

Last year I used pacific cream of mushroom (it is condensed, progresso isnt but both would work well), and on the top I put crushed potato chips and parmesean cheese.  Worked well.

This.  Do it with whatever gluten-free flour and it will work great.

Thanks. I've heard that the gluten-free cream of soups are not very good so I have not tried them.  I'll have to see if I can find either of these.

 I have made greenbean casserole with funyuns, it's good that way. Not quite the same as french fried onions but still good.

SMRI, I am only familiar with the cream of chicken and mushroom by Pacific. My family (all gluten eaters but me) can't tell the difference in casseroles, etc.

Pacific used to make a cream of celery, but discontinued it. Anybody know of a gluten-free cream of celery?

I found some of the Pacific Cream of Mushroom soup yesterday.  I am going to make some of the GB casserole and see how it tastes before the holiday.  I did realize when I got home that I forgot to get Green Beans so I have to run to the store again LOL.

Pacific cream of mushroom soup is as good or better than the glutenous types. You should have no difference in how your recipe turns out.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
