  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onion

Dairy and Bread

  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 large Italian bread loaf
  • 3 tbsp butter, softened

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the stuffed loaf.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking.
  3. Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Stir in diced bell peppers, diced onions, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Bread: Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise, then carefully hollow out the center to create a cavity for the filling without breaking the crust.
  5. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic until well combined, then spread this garlic butter evenly on the inside of the hollowed bread loaf.
  6. Stuff the Loaf: Fill the hollowed bread with the beef and vegetable mixture, pressing slightly to pack it evenly.
  7. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese generously over the stuffed mixture in the loaf.
  8. Bake: Place the stuffed loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, slice into pieces, and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for different flavors.
  • For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the bread loaf cleanly without crushing it.
  • Leftover stuffed bread can be reheated in the oven or microwave; avoid sogginess by reheating in the oven where possible.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based crumbles.
