Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 11-ounce tube refrigerated French bread dough
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons mustard
  • 2 dill pickle spears, chopped
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Thousand Island dressing (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roll out the French bread dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
  4. Spread ketchup and mustard over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
  5. Evenly distribute the beef mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with chopped pickles.
  6. Lay the cheese slices over the filling.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from one long side, sealing the edges.
  8. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  10. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
  11. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve with Thousand Island dressing.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Prepare the bread roll ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers wrapped tightly or in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to preserve the crust.
  • Dipping Sauces: Thousand Island dressing, ranch, marinara, or spicy mayo all pair wonderfully with this dish.
