This Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed French Bread is a delightful twist on the classic cheeseburger, combining savory ground beef, crispy bacon, and melted cheese all wrapped in a crispy loaf. Perfect for an easy dinner or a game day snack!
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion, stirring until the meat is browned and fully cooked, and the onion is soft. Drain off any extra grease.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté it for about 30 seconds, or until it becomes fragrant.
Incorporate the petite diced tomatoes, dill pickle relish, and cooked bacon into the skillet. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in one cup of shredded cheddar cheese and add this mixture to the beef mixture, mixing until everything is coated and the cheese has melted.
For Assembling:
Take the loaf of French bread and cut off the top third. Carefully scoop out the soft interior, leaving about a half-inch crust around the edges. Save the scooped-out bread for future use.
Fill the hollowed bread with the prepared cheeseburger filling and sprinkle the remaining half cup of shredded cheese on top.
Bake the stuffed bread in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Slice the stuffed French bread and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
