Notes
To transform this heartwarming Quick And Easy Hamburger Stew into a gluten-free delight, a few simple tweaks are all you need. First, ensure that your beef broth is labeled gluten-free, as some brands may include gluten-containing additives. Additionally, while the other primary ingredients – ground beef, vegetables, and herbs – are naturally gluten-free, it’s crucial to check your tomato paste and canned tomatoes. Sometimes, these can contain gluten as a thickener or in flavorings. Opt for brands that clearly state "gluten-free" on the label.
