Fed or discard starter: You can use fed or discarded gluten-free sourdough starter for this recipe.
If you do use a fed starter, make sure there is extra space in your cast iron skillet for it to rise a bit more than a discarded starter may. Some people prefer placing the skillet on a cookie sheet in case of any spills from overflowing topping.
For the cheese topping: you can also mix the cheese into the gluten-free bread topping mixture when whisking it all up. (Rather than melt it on top.) I enjoy it both ways, although melty cheese is always a winner in our house.
The specific recipe I used for the pictured meal is 1 pound of ground chicken. 1 cup of diced onions, 2 1/2 cups diced carrots and peppers, and 1/2 cup of frozen corn that I added towards the end of sauteeing the fresh vegetables. Topped with raw cheddar cheese.
If multitasking isn't a strength for you, cook the vegetables and add the meat to the skillet. Then follow that step with adding the minced garlic. After that step, remove the skillet from heat and mix up the gluten-free sourdough bread topping without having anything cooking on the stovetop. Finish as directed.
