Ingredients
Ground hamburger
1 lb (cooked and drained)
Chopped onion
1/4 cup (fresh)
Tomato soup
10 3/4 ounces (undiluted, from a can)
Garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon (seasoning)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon (seasoning)
Pepper
1/4 teaspoon (seasoning)
French bread
1 lb (loaf)
Butter
1-2 tablespoons (softened)
Velveeta cheese
8 ounces (sliced)
Instructions
1
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground hamburger with the chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onions are tender. Drain any excess grease.
2
Stir in the undiluted tomato soup, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
3
While the meat mixture simmers, cut the top third off the French bread loaf and hollow out the bottom half, creating a 3/4-inch thick shell. You can save the removed bread for other recipes or use it as bird feed.
4
Spread a tablespoon or two of softened butter on the cut side of the top slice of the bread.
5
Preheat your broiler and place the hollowed-out bottom half of the bread onto a cookie sheet. Broil it until lightly browned, which should take just a couple of minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
6
Once browned, remove the bread from the oven and fill the hollowed portion with the hot meat mixture. Carefully layer the sliced Velveeta cheese on top of the meat.
7
Place the buttered top slice of bread alongside and return the entire assembly to the oven, set to 350°F (175°C). Bake until thoroughly heated and the top bread is lightly toasted, about 10-15 minutes.
8
After baking, carefully put the top back on the stuffed bread. Slice the entire loaf into wide sections about 4-5 inches in width to create individual sandwiches.
