Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1 loaf of bread (unsliced)
Instructions:
-
Cook Meat Mixture: In a skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
-
Season and Simmer: To the cooked meat mixture, add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and condensed cream of mushroom soup (undiluted). Stir well to combine, then simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Preheat Oven: While the meat mixture simmers, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
Prepare Bread: Slice off the top third of the loaf of bread. With a knife, hollow out the bottom part of the loaf, leaving about a 3/4-inch shell. (Tip: Save the removed bread for another recipe or to feed the birds!)
-
Butter the Bread: Spread butter on the inside of the top piece of bread, ensuring to cover the entire surface.
-
Bake: Place the entire loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until it’s very lightly browned and slightly crisp.
-
Assemble: Pour the prepared meat mixture into the hollowed-out bottom shell of the loaf. Top the meat mixture with slices of American cheese.
-
Melt Cheese: Return the loaded loaf to the oven and bake for an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
-
Finish and Serve: Remove the loaf from the oven and carefully place the top of the loaf back onto the filled bottom shell. Allow the loaf to sit for a few minutes to settle. Then, slice into portions and serve warm.
