Stuffed French Bread

French bread stuffed with a cheesy and flavorful hamburger mixture. Slice into pieces and serve like sandwiches!

Ingredients:

1 loaf french bread

1 pound lean ground beef

2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 can cream of mushroom soup

2 Tablespoons milk

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 Tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Drain any grease.

Add the celery and garlic to skillet. Cook a few minutes until celery is tender.

Add soup, milk and Worcestershire sauce.

Season with salt and pepper.

Stir and cook mixture until heated; another 5 minutes or so.

While meat mixture is heating, slice the french bread in half, lengthwise, so you have two equal pieces.

Set the two halves of french bread onto a large baking sheet.

Scoop out the bread in the center of each piece.

Tear scooped out bread into small chunks (or blend in food processor to turn into crumbs as I do) and add to meat mixture.

Stir to combine.

Pour mixture into the center of one half of the french bread. Spread out evenly.

Top the mixture with the shredded cheese.

Top with the other half of bread.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
