This week we had a little(a lot) left over. We always share with our farmer friends first and take home the rest. We only sell our bread once so I decided I would take this as a challenge to turn this into our week of dinners. First up, French onion focaccia! I want to use this first because it's got a shorter freshness window. So tonight I used it for French onion sloppy joes! Made about 5 servings and cost per serving was about $5 including the side.
Start by slicing an onion and putting it in hot pan and cooking until it turns a rich golden color. Be patient this takes time
Then remove the onion from your pan and add your ground beef. Salt and pepper to taste and cook until browned.
Add two minced cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, soy sauce and half a tablespoon of mustard. Two tablespoons of flour, half a beef bouillon cube and a cup of water. Let that cook until it thickens. Add back in your onions.
Toast up your sliced focaccia and put it all together. I used mozzarella but you could use the traditional Swiss if you prefer. Threw in a bag of frozen peas for the side and that's dinner done!
