Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Bread
Slice the loaf lengthwise and hollow out some of the inside to make room for the filling.
Step 2: Cook the Filling
In a pan, cook ground beef with onion and garlic until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat.
Step 3: Mix It
Add bacon and tomatoes into the beef mixture. Stir well.
Step 4: Fill the Bread
Stuff the bread with the beef mixture, then top generously with cheddar and mozzarella.
Step 5: Bake
Brush the top with melted butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
Step 6: Slice & Serve
Cut into thick slices and serve hot while the cheese is still stretchy.
