Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 package (1 oz) mild Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 loaf (16 oz) French bread
  • 4 oz shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, diced avocados, or any other desired taco toppings

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain any grease if necessary. Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Holding a paring knife at an angle, cut a V in the top of the loaf of French bread, forming a “boat”.  Pull out any excess bread in the center, making sure to leave a 1/2” border around the sides and bottom of the bread.  Place the bread on a baking sheet.
  • Once the ground beef mixture is cooked, pour it into the French bread boat.  Top with both cheeses.
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and top with your desired toppings.  Cut into slices to serve.
