Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)
  • 68 bacon strips
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella and cheddar blend recommended)
  • 8 slices soft white bread
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup tomato sauce or pasta sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat. Add diced onions and minced garlic to the beef, cooking until fragrant and translucent. Stir in tomato or pasta sauce and Italian seasoning, and let simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a separate pan, cook bacon strips until crisp but not burnt. Remove onto paper towels to drain fat, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Assemble the Bread: Lay out slices of soft white bread, gently flattening if needed. Spread a generous spoonful of the beef mixture on each slice, sprinkle with chopped bacon and shredded cheese, then roll or fold the bread around the filling to enclose it completely.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the bread rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is golden with slightly crisp edges.

Notes

  • Drain excess fat from cooked beef to prevent soggy bread.
  • Use fresh, soft bread rather than day-old slices for best texture.
  • Do not overfill the bread to avoid splitting during baking.
  • Chop bacon evenly for balanced crunch in every bite.
  • Let bread rest for a few minutes after baking to set the filling and avoid burns.
