Garbage Bread
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or Italian bread
- 6–8 slices of deli meats (ham, salami, pepperoni, or turkey), chopped
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 2–3 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
- Prep the bread
- Slice the bread loaf lengthwise but don’t cut all the way through — keep the halves attached like a hinge.
- Optionally, cut into sections that can be pulled apart later.
- Layer fillings
- Spread pizza sauce (if using) on the inside of the bread.
- Layer meats, veggies, and cheese evenly inside the loaf.
- Season & finish
- Brush melted butter over the top.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning and extra cheese if desired.
- Bake
- Wrap in foil and bake 15–20 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is heated through.
- Optional: uncover for the last 5 minutes to get a crispy top.
- Serve
- Slice or pull apart and serve hot.
Tips
- You can customize with any leftover meats or veggies.
- Add some pepperoni or sausage for a pizza-style version.
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
If you want, I can also give you a mini garbage bread version or a party pull-apart bread tray style recipe.
