This week for the Random Recipe exchange Pam asked us to share a lunch recipe.  My most common lunch
recipe would have to be- open a can of soup, add some water and cook. While the soup is cooking, get 2 pieces of bread out, add some ham, cheese and mustard or mayonnaise.  But, I’m pretty sure that’s now what Pam had in mind for this exchange

So, here is my recipe for lunch.

Cheeseburger Loaf

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French bread
1 tablespoon butter, softened
8 ounces process American or Mexican-flavored cheese, sliced

Directions:

In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add soup, garlic salt, salt and pepper; simmer, uncovered for 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, slice the top third off the bread. Hollow out bottom half of loaf, leaving a 3/4-in. shell (discard removed bread or save for another use). Spread butter on cut side of bread. Place loaf on an ungreased baking sheet and broil 4-in. from the heat until lightly browned.

Spoon beef mixture into shell; arrange cheese slices on top. Broil 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Replace bread top. Yield: 6-8 servings.
