Garbage Bread

This cheesy, meaty bread is the ultimate comfort food! A golden loaf stuffed with seasoned beef, crispy bacon, tangy pickles, and gooey cheese is wrapped in buttery French bread dough and baked to perfection. It’s a crowd-pleasing dish you can serve as an appetizer, game-day snack, or even a fun weeknight meal. Add a side of Thousand Island dressing for dipping, and you’ve got guaranteed flavor-packed bites. Tip: Customize fillings with sausage, turkey, or veggies for a twist, or even turn it into a breakfast classic with eggs and ham. This dish freezes well too, ready for reheating when you’re craving something golden and delicious!

This garbage bread is my family’s secret weapon for transforming leftover ingredients into a show-stopping meal that disappears in minutes. The name might raise eyebrows, but the first bite of this cheesy, meat-filled spiral loaf will have everyone reaching for seconds.
