    I don't update recipes very often but I just had to update this cheesesteak pizza recipe! I first made it in 2015 and since then, so many good gluten free products have come out (or I just took a while to find them). Plus my cooking and photography skills have improved since then too.

    When I first though of this recipe, I got the idea from a pizza that Lenny likes to order. The restaurant makes safe gluten free pizzas (special staff training, separate prep area, separate ingredients, separate utensils,...) but does not offer their philly cheesesteak pizza in gluten free so I've never been able to try it. Now that I've made my own version, I know why Lenny orders that pizza every time we eat at that restaurant.

    My original recipe had a little bit of cashew cheese sprinkled on top but that's not very CHEESEsteak like. To get in the CHEESEsteak spirit this time around, I included dairy free cheese in three forms. The sauce is a cheesy white sauce made using Daiya mozzarella style shreds with coconut milk and pepper. Then I sprinkled even more "mozzarella" on top like you would any good pizza. Once the pizza came out of the oven, I drizzled it in a very decent amount of Daiya cheddar style "cheeze" sauce. So good!

    What's that you say? Still not cheesy enough??? I wasn't going to suggest something this drastic but if you insist, you can swap out the crust for this "just the crust" cheesy stuffed crust pizza. You'll want the crust cooked before using it in this recipe. Sadly, I didn't think to try my stuffed crust until after this was already made but at least that leaves me money in my grocery budget for something other than dairy free cheese.

    Aside from the cheese, the other biggest improvement I made to this pizza was the meat. Look at how thick the steak was sliced on my original attempt. I seriously didn't know you could buy super thinly sliced steak. It's too difficult and time consuming to cut it that thin at home. The thinner cut results in those super thin strands of meat like you'd get on a real cheesesteak sandwich. Thick steak slices are again, not very cheesesteak-like and they make taking a bite out of the pizza kind of difficult and messy. The meat was labeled "beef round thin top round steak". I'll include a photo of the packaging in the recipe below in case you've never seen this at the store either.

    The last improvement was with the crust. I make a decent pizza crust out of my multi-purpose dough but it's nowhere near as good as something like Chebe or Udis which I had never tried at the time of making the original recipe. For homemade options, you could make my multi-purpose dough into bagels (I recommend adding 1 teaspoon roasted garlic powder + ¾ teaspoon oregano). For semi-homemade, the Chebe mix works great or you can use that same mix to make my stuffed crust recipe that I mentioned earlier.

    Description

    Gluten free cheesesteak pizza made with dairy free cheese in 3 forms - simple cheesy white sauce, sprinkled with mozzarella, and drizzled with cheese sauce!


    Ingredients

    • 1 Tbsp cooking fat of choice
    • ⅓ lb very thinly sliced steak *see notes
    • salt and pepper to taste (for the steak)
    • ¼ yellow bell pepper, sliced
    • ¼ green bell pepper, sliced
    • ¼ red bell pepper sliced
    • ¼ onion, sliced
    • ¼ C full fat coconut milk
    • ⅛ tsp pepper (for the sauce)
    • ½ C Daiya mozzarella style shreds, divided
    • 1 8-10 inch prepared pizza crust, gluten free, dairy free *see notes
    • 3 Tbsp Daiya cheddar style deluxe cheeze sauce

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven. You'll want to use the temperature specified by the package/recipe of the pizza crust you are choosing to use.
    2. Stack the steak slices on top of each other and roll into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut slices off the log so you end up with small strips of steak. Season with salt and pepper.

    3. Add about a half tablespoon or so of fat to a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the steak and saute until fully cooked, stirring occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside for now.

    4. Add more fat to the skillet, if needed, and cook the sliced bell peppers.(You can work on the sauce in the next step while you wait. It's really simple!) Once the peppers just start to soften, add the onion slices. When the veggies are almost cooked to your liking (I made mine soft with a little charring) add the mushrooms which will just be gently cooked for a few minutes.

    5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the coconut milk and pepper. Once heated, whisk in 3 tablespoons of the mozzarella until melted then remove from heat.
    6. Once the sauce has cooled a bit and thickened, spread it evenly over the pizza crust.

    7. Sprinkle the finished meat and veggies evenly on the pizza. Add the remainder of the mozzarella shreds (about ⅓ C or to taste) to the pizza and bake until the cheese is melted or longer if your crust recipe specifies so. (I used Udis which cooks from thawed for 5-7 mins.)
    8. Once the pizza finishes cooking, drizzle the cheese sauce over the top of the pizza and serve.

    Notes

    • Potential allergens contained in this recipe may vary due to brands of ingredients used, product reformulations, etc. Please verify that all your ingredients are safe for you to consume and always be mindful of allergen cross contamination while cooking.
    • For the steak, I bought a very thinly pre-sliced top round steak. Here's what it looked like:

    • You have a few different options for gluten free, dairy free pizza crusts. My favorite to use is the Chebe pizza crust mix made with dairy free ingredients. If you prefer something from scratch, you could try using my bagel recipe to make bagel pizzas. I like to add 1 teaspoon roasted garlic powder and ¾ teaspoon oregano to the bagel dough. If you prefer less cooking, I think the Udi's pizza crusts are a safe option (and they're great grilled!). That's what I used in this case. For a really fun option, try using a prepared "just the crust" stuffed crust pizza as the crust for this.
    • Note that ingredient quantity contained in the recipe photos may not be true to the recipe. I cooked all of the vegetables and meat but only used a portion of it all for this recipe. The rest was set aside so we could have additional freshly baked pizzas later.

      I found your dough recipe on Pinterest a few minutes ago. I'm wondering if you've tried freezing it? I'd love to find a crust I can batch par-cook and freeze. :)

        Hi, Charmaine. I have tried freezing it a few times. The cinnamon rolls came out mushy, I think because of the wetter ingredients in the filling and topping. However, if you bake it into pizza crust without toppings or a loaf of bread, it does just fine. Try baking the crust on parchment paper so it can easily be transferred to the freezer without breaking. I'm not entirely sure if you'll have to thaw the crust before baking it again or if it can go in the oven frozen.

    I started out with a passion for creating unique recipes and decorating cakes. In June of 2012, I discovered I was not only severely gluten intolerant but also, many of the foods I was eating I simply couldn't include in my diet anymore. Fortunately, my love for trying new recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods made re-learning how to cook seem more like a fun challenge than an unfortunate circumstance. I'm so happy to say that my dietary restrictions haven't stopped me from doing what I love. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

    I was going to write some jokes about logging but I was going to write some jokes about logging but you wooden get them. Because they’re super dumb. Ok, I’ll share anyway.

How do lumberjacks find a missing exponent?
By using LOGarithms
.
What did the lumberjack wear to work on casual Friday?
His favorite Tree-shirt

When is the most stressful time of year for a tree?
Sept-timber

I told you they were bad, right? 😅 Cut me some slack, they were for a kids birthday party. Oh, and I have more…

Why did the logger get a gym membership?
He wanted to get lumber jacked 💪

Why couldn’t the tree answer the riddle?
He was stumped

What kind of beer do lumberjacks drink?
Loggers 🍻

Why did the logger have back pain?
He didn’t have enough lumber support

Embarrassingly enough, I have a bunch more but I’ll save them for a project in a later blog post. For now, I just have the cake.
.
This is a 2 part, absolutely massive blog post on making this logging scene cake from start to finish. The cake is chocolate and vanilla layers with cookies & cream filling. And as always, gluten free and dairy free.

    Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 Bu Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 But seriously, it’s amazing how much having a clean space can help. My energy levels are completely uncalled for considering we’re well beyond a month of Erika barely sleeping at night and at least one family member dealing with a cold. I’m so tired of snot 😩 And being responsible for 3 peoples noses. We’re trying to graduate one nose to self-care but apparently the art of nose blowing takes a lot more boxes of tissues to master. We’ll get there.
.
Ok enough gross stuff. My finally clean again space has made me so much more focused and motivated to get things done. I’ve burned through most of my work to-do list and made it to the fun stuff that I don’t have to do but just want to. And since I was at that point, I decided to do something for myself by working on my blog. And I went a little overboard by working on 5 blog posts at once. I probably won’t get through them all but I have 3 ready so far.
.
This first post is a 30 minute ground beef stroganoff that I made almost 3 years ago. I didn’t do a great job writing down the recipe so I wasn’t able to post it until I figured out what I forgot to write down. Figured it out the other day and it was so good!

    I almost didn’t make this into a casserole becau I almost didn’t make this into a casserole because the sauce and pasta combined made a delicious side dish on their own! @beldolcefood #sponsored my most recent blog post and provided me with their new gluten free fusilli and penne to try out. I used the fusilli in this recipe and the sauce is a creamy, cheesy enchilada sauce made from just 3 ingredients.
.
I ended up adding taco meat, fire roasted tomatoes, corn, black beans, and dairy free cheese to make a taco noodle casserole. Then we ate it all and I made it again! This is one of those recipes that will be going in our regular meal rotation.
.
This is a pretty versatile recipe. It can be made vegan just by leaving out the meat and it’s just as good. And as I said earlier, the pasta with just the sauce makes a really good side dish. You can also top it with whatever you like such as cilantro, jalapeños, sour cream, scallions, or salsa.

    I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers t I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers that makes cakes for their blogs “birthdays”. Or uses the blog birthdays as an excuse to make yet another cake recipe....yeah, that’s probably more accurate.
.
Definitely felt like I needed a good excuse for this one because it’s my fifth variation of gooey butter cake! However, my site is seven years old so maybe I should have had seven gooey butter cakes ready to go? Guess I’d better get caught up before year eight 😉
.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this carrot cake variation of gooey butter cake. The cake layer/crust swaps out the yellow cake mix with spice cake mix and I added in some shredded carrots and raisins. I kept the “gooey” top layer the same except that I topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and additional raisins before baking.

    Here are a few last minute treat ideas! The carame Here are a few last minute treat ideas! The caramel stuffed crispy rice treats recipe is written below. The other recipes (gooey butter cookies, salted caramel turtles, and pumpkin snickerdoodles) can be found at the link in my bio!
.
CARAMEL STUFFED CRISPY RICE TREATS
.
INGREDIENTS
.
• ¼ C dairy free butter, divided
• 4 C mini marshmallows (regular and vegan both work), divided
• 6 C gluten free rice cereal *see notes*
• 1 tsp vanilla extract, divided
• 10-11 oz dairy free chewy caramels
• 11.25 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk
.
DIRECTIONS
.
1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the dairy free butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 cups of marshmallows and stir until they are melted with no lumps.
2. Remove from heat and stir in ½ tsp of vanilla then gently fold in 3 cups of cereal until it is well-combined with the marshmallows.
3. Using wet hands, press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 7x11 inch casserole dish and set aside.
4. Unwrap the caramels and add them along with the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir often to avoid burning. Once this has turned to a completely smooth sauce, pour over the cereal layer.
5. Make your top cereal layer by repeating steps 1 and 2. Distribute this evenly over the caramel layer and pat down with wet hands.
6. Once the treats have cooled down, they will firm up and hold their shape when cut. Cut into squares and serve.
.
NOTES
.
• Potential allergens contained in this recipe may vary due to brands of ingredients used, product reformulations, etc. Please verify that all your ingredients are safe for you to consume and always be mindful of allergen cross contamination while cooking.
• Double check that the cereal you use is gluten free. At least one brand carries 2 different versions of rice cereal and only one is GF.
• Don't make both cereal layers in one large batch then divide it up. The top layer will cool and firm up before you can layer it on which will make the caramel seep out when you press it down.
