Cheesy bread loaded with beef, bacon, and bold flavors—easy to bake and deliciously savory. Shareable, golden loaf.

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 0.5 cup cooked bacon, chopped
03 - 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning blend
04 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
05 - 8 ounces processed cheese product (Velveeta), cubed

→ Dough and Toppings

06 - 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (13.8 ounces)
07 - 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
08 - Everything bagel seasoning, for topping

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until fully browned, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess fat.
03 - In a large bowl, combine cooked ground beef, chopped bacon, hamburger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and cubed processed cheese. Stir until cheese starts to melt and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
04 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 15 by 10 inch rectangle with even thickness.
05 - Distribute the meat and cheese filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the meat mixture.
06 - Starting from the long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place loaf seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Brush the loaf with water or melted butter. Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
08 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
09 - Allow bread to cool for 5 minutes. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with optional dipping sauces.

# Notes:

01 - Allow bread to rest before slicing to retain filling and structure.
