Garbage Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup cooked chopped bacon
  • 1 Tbsp McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz Velveeta, cubed
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (13.8 oz) can pizza dough

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain the excess grease.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, hamburger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and Velveeta cheese. Stir just until the cheese starts to melt.
  4. Open the can of pizza dough and roll it into a 15×10-inch rectangle. Spread the meat mixture evenly over the pizza crust. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Starting with the long side of the dough, roll it up jelly-roll style. Pinch the edges to seal the loaf.
  6. Place the loaf seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the dough.
  7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Allow the bread to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into slices.
