Ingredients

• 1 large round or oval loaf of bread (Italian or sourdough works well)
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the bread. Slice the top off the loaf of bread and hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch border of bread on the sides and bottom to create a sturdy shell. Reserve the bread pieces for dipping or breadcrumbs.
3. Cook the beef filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
4. Season and combine. Stir the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Stuff the bread. Spoon half of the beef mixture into the hollowed bread loaf. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then top with the remaining beef mixture and another generous layer of cheese.
6. Bake. Place the stuffed loaf on a baking sheet. Brush the outside crust with melted butter, if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the crust is golden and crisp.
7. Slice and serve. Let cool for a few minutes, then slice into wedges or thick slices and serve warm.
