Want To Make A Gluten-Free Chili

Helskore

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forums, but I already have a question on my mind that I would like to get some input on. One of my best friends is a celiac and I'm always trying to find ways to treat her and her husband to dinner while keeping in mind to look for places with gluten-free foods. This is not about that, though. I am in the process of looking around the internet for some answers on how to make a chili without gluten. This is what my chili typically has:

Ground beef

Dark and Light red kidney beans

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Powder

Tomato Sauce

Chili Seasoning

The next time I make chili, I also plan to add bacon and steamed or boiled chicken with lemon-powder seasoning.

I know the chili seasoning has gluten in it, and I want to figure out how to make a chili seasoning that is gluten-free or if there's a product out there that is gluten-free. On top of that, is there anything else out of this recipe that has gluten in it that I have missed in the ingredients? Any advice anyone can offer would be appreciated.

I use Williams Chili seasoning. It's just spices. There are others, too. Read the lemon seasoning ingredients.

Welcome -- It is very thoughtful of you to make your friend a gluten free meal.

We use basically the same recipe as yours...for "chili seasoning" we use a combination of Chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder (or fresh garlic).

Just make sure the spices you use are gluten-free and the chili will be gluten free.

Some other things that may make the meal safe for your friend:

Thoroughly wash the pot and utensils you intend to use for the meal...even microscopic amounts of gluten left on pans, measuring cups, spoons, can opener, etc. can cause a reaction in many. Fry the meat in the same pot you scrubbed for the chili -- non-stick pans are nearly impossible to remove gluten from.

Wash your hands more often than normal while cooking and serving as there is hidden gluten in the cleanest kitchens.

If you are preparing any gluten items for the meal for the other folks, let your Celiac friend serve herself.

I couldn't tell from your post if your friend has actually eaten safely in your home before. If not she may be apprehensive -- if she hasn't eaten your gluten-free cooking before, perhaps ask her if you are willing to try, will she be willing to eat it. Many of us can not eat food prepared in other folks kitchen as the cross-contamination risk is too high.

Good Luck and thanks for being a thoughtful friend!

Hi Everyone- I too am new to these formums, but I am on this website daily. It is what keeps me sane when trying to cook for my husband who was diagnosised in January 2012 with Celiac Disease. Anyway, I justed wanted to share with you some information about spices that I just recently found. The website for spices manufactured by Tones (www.Tones.com) is great. I wanted to make chili and needed a gluten free chili powder. I have other Tones spices , so I went to their website to research their chili powder. It is glutenn free. you can look up any spice you need and it plainly states wheather it is gluten free. Hopr that this helps. Thanks for all the great information in the forums.

For seasoning I use chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, a little oregano and mustard, and -- THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL -- cumin. Cumin must, must be in there. Some chili chefs even put it in twice, once at the beginning and then again about an hour before it's done.

Look at this page and I doubt you'll find a single cookoff recipe that doesn't include cumin.

I agree! Cumin is essential.

I buy dried chiles and whole spices and grind them to make my own blends. I do not buy any seasoning blends, actually, as they all are easy to make. And fun (at least for me!). :)

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
