 Ingredients:

• 1 lb (500g) ground beef
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

 Instructions:

 Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble into pieces.

 Cook the Beef

Using the same skillet (leave a little bacon grease for flavor):

• Sauté the sliced onion until softened.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add ground beef, salt, and pepper.
• Cook until browned and fully cooked, draining excess grease if needed.

Stir in ketchup and mustard. Mix well.

 Prepare the Filling

• Add crumbled bacon to the beef mixture.
• Stir in half of the shredded cheese.

 Assemble the Bread

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
• Spread the beef mixture evenly down the center.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
• Fold and seal the edges tightly to form a loaf.

Bake

• Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Brush the top with beaten egg.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
