Why it works
- Celiac disease: Every spice blend, stock and tomato paste is called gluten-free, so the whole pot is one safe bowl.
- Milk allergy: A rich chili that needs no butter, cheese or cream: the depth comes from browned beef and toasted spices.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
