Hamburger Stuffed Bread

Cut top off bread lengthwise. Gently hollow out inside, forming a 1/4 - 1/2-inch thick crust shell. Reserve hollowed-out bread. Brown ground beef and drain excess fat. Add all remaining ingredients except cheese slices. Simmer for 4 - 5 minutes. Tear hollowed-out bread into small pieces, making 2 cups. Add bread to meat mixture. Fill bread crust shell with meat and bread mixture. Cut cheese slices in half diagonally. Place over top of bread crust shell. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Replace top of bread and serve. Makes 4 - 6 servings.
