Garbage Bread

Print Recipe

A hearty stromboli-style roll filled with seasoned ground beef, bacon, melty cheeses, and burger-style sauces—baked until golden and served sliced for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 11–13 ounces refrigerated pizza or French bread dough (one tube)
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons mustard
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (or 1/2 cup bacon pieces)
  • 2 dill pickle spears, chopped (or 1/4 cup chopped pickles)
  • 8 slices American cheese (or 2 cups shredded cheddar/jack)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.[1]
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 cup diced onion; cook and crumble the beef until browned. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; drain any excess grease.[1]
  3. Stir in 1/3 cup ketchup and 3 tablespoons mustard into the cooked beef until combined.[1]
  4. Roll out the refrigerated dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 10×15 inches (or according to dough package directions).[1]
  5. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the dough leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped pickles over the beef, then place 8 slices American cheese (or sprinkle shredded cheese) in a single layer on top of the filling.[1][2]
  6. Starting from a long side, roll the dough up jelly-roll style, sealing seams and ends by pinching the dough together; place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.[1][2]
  7. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds if desired.[1]
  8. Bake 20–25 minutes at 350°F (some versions bake at 375–425°F for 15–35 minutes depending on dough thickness) until the crust is golden brown; let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing.[1][2]
  9. Serve sliced with Thousand Island or a simple sauce made from 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons ketchup (season to taste).[1][2]

Notes

1) Use store-bought pizza dough or refrigerated French bread dough for easiest results.[1][2]
2) Customize fillings: swap Velveeta or shredded cheddar for American slices, add onions or pickles to taste, or use steak seasoning for extra flavor.[2][3]
3) If concerned about soggy filling, drain beef well and let the filling cool slightly before assembling.[3]
