Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Topping

  • 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Filling

  • 1/2 pound ground beef, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the thawed pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into an even rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Imperfections are fine as long as it’s roughly even.
  3. Add Butter and Cheese: Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered dough.
  4. Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled ground beef, chopped cooked bacon, diced onion, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  5. Assemble Bread: Spread the prepared filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges free. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the filling.
  6. Roll and Seal: Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough into a firm log. Pinch the seam to seal the roll so the filling stays inside during baking. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bread cool slightly to set before slicing into thick pieces. Serve warm and enjoy this savory stuffed delight!

Notes

  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a mix of your favorite cheeses for a different flavor profile.
  • Make sure the ground beef is fully cooked and drained to avoid excess grease in the bread.
  • If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the filling mix.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the bread for clean cuts without squashing the filling.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for a crispy exterior.
