Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Focaccia

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush both sides of the focaccia slices with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the marinara sauce and roasted red peppers to the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Remove the focaccia from the oven. Spoon the beef and marinara mixture generously over each slice of focaccia. Top with shredded Mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the assembled focaccia to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve open-faced with a side of Boulder Canyon gluten-free chips (Jalapeño Cheddar or Barbecue).
