Un-Sloppy Joe Pockets and HP 7.2

Chef’s Notes: Friday was HP D-Day for the Smith household. Having caught the bandwagon late, catching the Hogwart's express at about the 4th movie, we have waited in anticipation for the final day! In preparation for today, I just finished re-reading the book on Wednesday and planned a tummy-filling meal pre-showtime. With glasses, wands, owls, snitches, robes, dementors, Ministry of Magic, muggles, prophesies, spell-books, Wingardium Leviosa, Dumbledores, Snapes, Hermiones, Rons and Harrys in-tow we headed to end the quest.

Plan of Attack:

1. Prep dough

2. Cook ground meat filling

3. Assemble and Bake

Ingredients for 2:

1 Recipe for 2 servings of pocket dough

1/3 lb ground beef

15oz can of diced tomatoes with chilies

1/8 C ricotta cheese

Yellow mustard

Fresh spinash

Red onion rings

2 oz grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Prepare dough, place in bowl and cover with damp paper towel until ready to use.
3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add meat and brown until all pink is gone, draining away any excess fat if needed.
4. Add can of diced tomatoes and keep at a high simmer until liquid has evaporated; remove from heat and set aside.
5. Roll dough into about a circle about 8-9” in diameter
6. Only on ONE HALF of the dough smear ½ of the ricotta cheese leaving ½” perimeter on the outside and drizzle with yellow mustard.
7. Top with spinach ½ of the beef mixture, red onion, and grated mozzarella cheese
8. Fold over dough and pinch closed; repeat for other pocket
9. Using a wide spatula carefully move the pockets to a baking tray or plate to move to a pizza stone.
10. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow to set for 5 minutes with the door closed.
11. Enjoy!
