- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup diced onion
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 11 oz tube refrigerated French bread dough
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 3 tbsp mustard
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 dill pickle spears chopped
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Thousand Island dressing for dipping
Brown ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, then drain the fat.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out French bread dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread ketchup and mustard evenly over the dough. Top with beef mixture, crumbled bacon, chopped pickles, and slices of American cheese.
Roll the dough tightly from one long edge. Pinch to seal and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with Thousand Island dressing.
