Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 11-ounce tube refrigerated French bread dough
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons mustard
  • 2 dill pickle spears, chopped
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Thousand Island dressing, for dipping

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Heat to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with non-stick spray.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until browned. Season with salt and pepper and drain excess grease.
  3. Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the French bread dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
  4. Spread the Condiments: Evenly coat the dough with ketchup and mustard, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Add the Fillings: Sprinkle the cooked beef, and chopped pickles across the dough.
  6. Layer the Cheese: Place the American cheese slices in a single layer.
  7. Roll It Up: Starting from a long edge, roll the dough into a log and pinch seams to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Brush and Bake: Brush the top with beaten egg, sprinkle sesame seeds, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool & Serve: Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with Thousand Island dressing for dipping.

Health Benefits

While Garbage Bread is a comfort food, it can still offer a balanced mix of protein, carbs, and fats. Adding vegetables boosts fiber and nutrients, while lean meats or meat alternatives can make it a lighter, more wholesome option.

How to Serve

  • Slice into rounds for parties
  • Serve warm with dipping sauces
  • Pair with fries, a simple salad, or roasted veggies
  • Enjoy as a main dish, snack, or appetizer

 

Make Ahead & Storage

  • Make Ahead: Assemble and refrigerate unbaked up to 24 hours.
