Best Cheesy Stuffed French Bread Recipes

CHEESY STUFFED FRENCH BREAD!

Steps:

• Split the loaf of french bread and hollow (reserve to add to filling.)
• Brown ground beef with dried onion,salt pepper and garlic powder and drain.
• In large mixing bowl combine ground beef, soup, velveeta, sour cream and reserved bread.
• If mixture is too dry add a small amount of water or broth.
• Spoon mixture back into the hollowed out french bread. (I always have mixture left over -- its yummy all by itself!).
• Place top back onto bread, wrap in foil.
• Bake at 325 for about 20-30 mins until sandwich is heated through and top is crusty!

CHEESY OLIVE TAPENADE STUFFED FRENCH BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl mix together the Lemony Olive Tapenade, sliced black olives and chopped green onions. Set aside.
• In a separate, smaller bowl, beat together the cream cheese, goat cheese, butter and mayo. Fold the cheese mixture with the tapenade olive mixture and add the shredded mozzarella.
• Using a large bread knife, carefully slice off the very "top" of the French bread loaf (slice it in half lengthwise). To make more room for the olive cheese mix, I scooped out a little of the inside soft bread- not too much, we still want some bread with the dip ;)
• Spread mixture thickly onto the sliced French Bread and sprinkle with a thin layer of mozzarella cheese, if desired.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.
• Remove from the oven, slice and serve. Best served immediately, or leftover and heated for up to 2-3 days.
