Beefy cheesy Cheeseburger Stuffed French Bread is perfect for Game Day. Easy to serve and easy to eat because the ketchup and mustard are already cooked in with the ground beef.
Are you ready for some football…football food that is? Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than a group of family and friends gathered around the TV for the big game. And what’s better than the company? The food of course! Forget stacking the grill with tons of individual hamburgers and make this all-in-one cheeseburger stuffed French bread, slice it into easy hand-held pieces and everyone is happy. If you don’t believe me, just try it! By the way, if you can find sesame French bread covered in sesame seeds, go for it because they give toasted nut flavor to the bread that is delicious. If you can’t find bread with sesame seed, you can always brush the top of the bread with butter and sprinkle it with the sesame seeds.
Oh, and if you are wondering where I got the adorable baking mat, you can find it here. I’m a little bit obsessed with it; it’s so cute!
