French Cheeseburger Loaf

By kaydeis

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
• 1 small green pepper, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbs Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbs ketchup
• 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated crusty French loaf
• 4 slices reduced-fat process American cheese product
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 3 Tbs shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the flour, mustard and ketchup; set aside.

2. Unroll dough starting at the seam. Pat into a 14-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spoon meat mixture lengthwise down the center of the dough; top with cheese slices. Bring long sides of dough to the center over filling; pinch seams to seal.

3. Place seam side down on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

4. Brush with egg white. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

5. With a sharp knife, cut diagonal slits in top of loaf. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
