Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather your ingredients.
Heat olive oil in a skillet, add diced onions, bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart while cooking for 8-10 minutes until no longer pink.
Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. Stir and simmer on low for 5-10 minutes.
Hollow out the round bread loaf, leaving enough crust to hold its shape.
Fill the hollowed bread with the beef mixture, then top with shredded cheese.
Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
