Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Cheese Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup cooked chopped bacon
  • 1 Tbsp McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz Velveeta, cubed
  • 1½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Dough and Seasoning

  • 1 (13.8 oz) can pizza dough
  • Everything bagel seasoning, for sprinkling (quantity to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease to keep the filling tidy and flavorful.
  3. Mix Meat Ingredients: Transfer the cooked ground beef to a large bowl. Add the cooked chopped bacon, hamburger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and cubed Velveeta cheese. Stir gently until the Velveeta begins to melt and everything is evenly combined.
  4. Prepare Dough: Open the can of pizza dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 15×10-inch rectangle. This shape will help you create an even roll stuffed with the filling.
  5. Assemble the Bread: Spread the meat and cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough rectangle. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat mixture.
  6. Roll the Dough: Starting at the long side, carefully roll the dough up jelly-roll style, encasing the filling. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the loaf and prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled loaf seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the top of the loaf for an added burst of flavor.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set slightly and makes slicing easier. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute Velveeta with any processed cheese alternative or a combination of cream cheese and shredded cheese for a different texture.
  • Use cooked bacon to add smoky flavor; substitute with turkey bacon or omit for a lighter option.
  • Everything bagel seasoning is optional but adds a delicious savory crunch.
  • Ensure to drain the ground beef well to prevent soggy dough.
  • This bread is best served warm but can be reheated in the oven the next day.
