🛒 Ingredients

1. 🥩 Ground Beef
1 lb ground beef
2. 🥓 Cooked Bacon
½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
3. 🌿 Hamburger Seasoning
1 tablespoon McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger Seasoning
4. 🍶 Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
5. 🧀 Velveeta Cheese
8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
6. 🧀 Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
🥖 Dough & Topping
7. 🥖 Pizza Dough

8. 🌾 Everything Bagel Seasoning
Everything bagel seasoning, for topping
👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

2️⃣ Brown the Ground Beef
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it browns.

Continue cooking until no pink remains.

Carefully drain excess grease to prevent the finished bread from becoming oily.

3️⃣ Prepare the Filling
Transfer the cooked beef to a large mixing bowl.

Add:

Chopped bacon
Hamburger seasoning
Worcestershire sauce
Cubed Velveeta cheese
Mix thoroughly while the beef is still warm. The residual heat will begin melting the Velveeta, creating a creamy and flavorful filling.

Allow the mixture to sit for 2–3 minutes.

4️⃣ Roll Out the Dough
Lightly flour a clean work surface.

Unroll the pizza dough and gently stretch or roll it into a rectangle measuring approximately:

15 x 10 inches

Try to maintain an even thickness throughout the dough to ensure uniform baking.

5️⃣ Add the Filling
Spread the beef mixture evenly across the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

This layer of cheddar creates irresistible pockets of melted cheese throughout the loaf.

6️⃣ Roll and Seal
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log, similar to a jelly roll.

Pinch the seam firmly closed.

Seal both ends carefully to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

7️⃣ Prepare for Baking
Transfer the loaf seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the surface.

For an even more golden crust, lightly brush the loaf with melted butter or olive oil before adding the seasoning.

8️⃣ Bake Until Golden
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until:

✅ The crust is deep golden brown

✅ The dough is fully cooked

✅ Cheese is bubbling inside

If the bread begins browning too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil during the final few minutes.

9️⃣ Rest Before Slicing
Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to rest for 5–10 minutes.

This important step helps the cheese set slightly and prevents the filling from spilling out when sliced.

Cut into thick slices using a serrated knife and serve warm.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

👨‍🍳 Chef Tips
⭐ Use freshly shredded cheddar for superior melting and flavor.

⭐ Let the filling cool slightly before spreading onto the dough to make rolling easier.

⭐ Brush the loaf with garlic butter before baking for extra flavor.

⭐ For a cheesier loaf, add an additional ½ cup cheddar.

⭐ Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.

⭐ Allow the bread to rest before slicing to keep the filling intact.

🔄 Delicious Variations

🚫 Forgetting to drain excess grease from the beef.

🚫 Rolling the dough too thin.

🚫 Cutting immediately after baking.

🚫 Under-seasoning the filling.

🚫 Leaving gaps while rolling, which can create uneven slices.
