Ingredients

• 1 loaf French or Italian bread
• 1 lb (500 g) ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
• ¼ cup ketchup or pizza sauce
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• ½ tsp paprika (optional)
• 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until browned.
   Add garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Drain excess fat.
2. Stir in ketchup (or pizza sauce) and cooked bacon. Remove from heat.
3. Slice the bread lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
   Hollow out a little of the center to make room for the filling.
4. Fill the bread with the beef mixture, then top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
5. Place on a baking tray, brush the top with melted butter, and bake at
   350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
6. Let cool slightly, slice, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
