Stuffed Bread

This is the meal you bring out when you really need to Feed the Fam.

It’s a hearty meal for big eaters. It’s great to serve as an appetizer for a big crowd or as a casual meal on game day!

Stuffed Bread is budget friendly, filling and simple!

When my kids were both still in diapers I would call my Aunt June for simple family recipes that were affordable. She always had the best recipes and I still use a bunch of them. This is one she suggested and it is still one of my family favorites.

I always make this with a quick crushed tomato sauce. You can use any sauce of your choice, but this one is super easy and delicious.

Ingredients

1 hearty loaf of Italian bread
2 pounds of lean ground beef
1/4 cup of grated cheese(pecorino romano or parmesan)
1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella
1 onion, sliced thin
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare your crushed tomato sauce or sauce of your choice…
Preheat the oven to 400.
Slice the Italian bread in half lengthwise.
Take out the insides to make room for the meat mixture. Place the bread on a large pan.
In a large skillet brown the beef.
Drain the fat. Place in a medium bowl.
Add the grated cheese, season with salt and pepper, and mix.
In the same skillet, saute the onions until they brown and soften.
Fill one side of the bread with as much meat mixture as you can.
Top with the mozzarella and onions.
Drizzle the top with your sauce.
Carefully place the other side of the bread on top and wrap the whole loaf in aluminum foil.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
Slice into individual servings and serve with tomato sauce.
