French Cheeseburger Loaf

6 servings

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion (i just used onion powder)

1 small green pepper chopped (i did not use as we are not green pepper fans)

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp all purpose flour

2 tbsp Dijon mustard (i just used regular mustard)

1 tbsp ketchup

1 tube 11 oz refrigerated crusty french loaf

4 slices of American cheese (i used shredded cheese that i had in the refrigerator)

1 egg white slightly beaten

3 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese

IN a large skillet brown ground beef, (onion and pepper too) and garlic, until meat is no longer pink, stir in flour, mustard and ketchup and set aside.

Unroll the dough starting at the seam and pat into a 14in x 12 in rectangle. Spoon meat mixture length wise down the center and top with cheese roll dough to center to cover filling and pinch seams to seal. Place on baking sheet seam side down and coat with slightly beaten egg. Add Parmesan cheese. With a sharp knife cut diagonal slits in the top of the loaf and bake at 350 for 25-30 min.
