Cheeseburger Macaroni - GF


I found this recipe on-line and modified it to my dietary needs and what I actually had in the house. ;)


Ingredients: (to the best of my recollection)
1/4 cup (4 TBS) coconut oil
1 onion, diced
3/4-1 lb grass fed ground beef

Paste Mix:
4 TBS Beef gelatin
1 TBS mustard
2 oz tomato paste
2 oz ACV
4 TBS cane sugar/cream of tartar mix
Salt to taste...I think I used a tsp... or maybe 2?

2.5 cups water
2 cups rice pasta (elbow, penne, etc)

8 oz Munster or other white cheese, cubed

  1. In a LARGE skillet (I over flowed mine a few times due to the slope in my stove top), brown the onions and burger in the coconut oil.
  2. Mix the paste ingredients together and add to skillet.
  3. Add water and bring to boil.
  4. Add pasta of choice.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until desired tenderness.
  6. Turn off burner and add small chunks of cheese of choice. I chose Munster because it's a semi-soft cheese that dissolves easily.  It was either that or pepper jack.  I just broke pieces off.
  7. Serve when cheese is thoroughly blended.

P.S.  I just read the instructions of the original recipe again.  I didn't drain the meat juices or cover while cooking the noodles. I don't know if the out come would be any different or not.

Slow Roasted Goat Ribs with Black Raspberry BBQ Sauce

Forage Fed Goat Ribs and Home made Cottage Fries
  1.  Bring a rack of ribs up to room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  3. Slice a fresh clove of garlic and wipe cut side all over ribs.  You may cook the garlic slices in slits in the fat if desired.
  4. Place ribs on rack in a broiler pan or other open pan.
  5. Immediately turn down oven temp to around 150-175 degrees F and cook for 30 minutes per pound.
While the ribs are cooking, prepare the sauce.




Black Raspberry BBQ Sauce
10 oz black raspberry preserves
10 oz vinegar (Apple Cider, Wine, etc.)
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup unflavored beef gelatin
1/2 cup cane sugar/cream of tartar mix
1-2 TBS unrefined sea salt
1 TBS lemon thyme (optional)
1-2 TBS red pepper flakes (optional)

Mix the ingredients together and heat low and slow, stirring occasionally.  When the ribs are done, slice between the ribs into appropriate serving sizes and drizzle with sauce.

We had to hose ourselves down after our meal...but it was worth it!

Update: Ketchup Boy has been using the leftover sauce to pour over his fries on a regular basis now...it MUST be good. ;)
