How to Make Beef N Cheese French Bread

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 medium onion (chopped) over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite salsa, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup sliced black olives, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp cumin.
  3. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  5. Cut a large French bread loaf (about 12-16 inches) in half lengthwise.
  6. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet.
  7. Spread the beef mixture evenly over both halves of the bread.
  8. Sprinkle generously with 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is lightly toasted.
