Ingredients

• 1 whole French bread loaf
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Hollow out the insides of both halves, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread around the edges. Save the removed bread for another use or discard.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Break the beef apart as it cooks to achieve a crumbly texture. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef mixture evenly. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and thoroughly combined.

Step 7

Place the hollowed-out French bread halves onto the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spoon the cheeseburger mixture into both halves of the bread.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the cheeseburger filling.

Step 9

Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the melted butter onto the edges of the French bread crust for added flavor and a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the stuffed bread cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Slice the stuffed French bread into manageable pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
