Ingredients

1 pound beef
3-4 cups brown rice
1 packet onion soup mix gluten-free
1 cup cream of mushroom soup gluten-free
1 pint sour cream
2 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce
1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels gluten-free
1/2 teaspoon real salt
dash black pepper

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook ground been on medium high heat until browned all the way through.
In a medium sized round casserole dish, combine all ingredients except half of the pretzels
Cook at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Top with remaining pretzels and serve hot.

Notes

Pro tip: Crush the pretzels in a ziplock bag into small pieces, but not completely crushed. You want them to be a crunchy topping and not breadcrumb pieces.

Storage - After the casserole has cooled to room temperature, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The texture of the casserole will change just a bit, but it makes for a great quick lunch. Top with more pretzels after reheated.

Freezing - I do not recommend freezing this casserole.
