Cheeseburger Loaf Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

15 5 20

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French bread
1 tablespoon butter, softened
8 ounces plain or Mexican process cheese (Velveeta), sliced

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add soup, garlic salt, salt and pepper; simmer, uncovered for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the top third off the bread. Hollow out bottom half of loaf, leaving a 3/4-in. shell (discard removed bread or save for another use). Spread butter on cut side of bread. Place loaf on an ungreased baking sheet and broil 4-in. from the heat until lightly browned.
Spoon beef mixture into shell; arrange cheese slices on top. Broil 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Replace bread top. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Such a great recipe! I left the top of the loaf off and just served this open faced - everyone in my family loved it! This is certainly a keeper!

I made this tonight and it turned out OK. My spouse and I agreed that 8oz of cheese was way too much as it overwhelmed the flavors of the dish. I would cut the amount to cheese to half and add more onion. I think I would also try it with ketchup next time instead of soup, as it turned out sweeter than I would prefer. Or use a half can of soup plus some ketchup. I would also try the mini-french loaves so it would be easier for each person to pick up without the insides oozing out- the middle slices, that is.

I made this and my three boys and husband LOVED it. It was easy and delicious. I even used the bread that I cut out to make croutons for another dish.
