Description

Get ready to experience the ultimate fusion of two beloved comfort foods – the classic bacon cheeseburger and the ever-popular pull-apart bread. This Bacon Cheeseburger Pull-Apart Bread is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, combining savory, cheesy, and meaty flavors in a delightfully shareable format. Imagine sinking your teeth into a soft, fluffy bread that’s bursting with the taste of ground beef, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar cheese. It’s the perfect dish for game days, potlucks, or any casual gathering where you want to wow your guests with a truly irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf French Bread
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Diced Pickles
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Mustard
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Season the beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Take the French bread and, using a serrated knife, slice it horizontally and vertically to create a grid pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom crust.
  4. Stuff the Bread: Layer the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced pickles between the bread sections. Drizzle the ketchup and mustard over the top.
  5. Bake the Bread: Brush the melted butter over the top of the bread, then wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Take the Bacon Cheeseburger Pull-Apart Bread out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve it warm for a truly pull-apart experience.

Notes

  • The key to perfect cheese melt is to cover the bread with foil during the initial baking stage. This helps the cheese melt evenly and prevents the bread from overbrowning before the fillings are fully heated through.
  • Feel free to experiment with variations by using different types of cheese, adding diced tomatoes, or substituting the ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a meatless option.
