Mushroom Swiss Cheeseburger Stuffed French Bread ~ A fun twist on the classic Mushroom Swiss burger by stuffing everything inside hallowed French bread. I needed a loaf of French bread for a dish I was going to prepare. I happened to be at Sam’s Club where buying bread means buying two loaves. I’m known to love bread, so I was certain it would get used up in one way or another.
I used up my ingredients in another recipe to avoid them spoiling as well.
But I wanted to make this Mushroom Swiss Cheeseburger Stuffed French Bread for days and days and finally, the stars aligned and I was able to get in the kitchen and make my stuffed bread.
It’s an easy recipe. Cook the meat, hallow the bread, all all the goodies, toss in the oven, and there you go, Mushroom Swiss Cheeseburger Stuffed French Bread.

May 25, 2015 at 5:10 pmI just made this for dinner tonight and my husband and I loved it! I will definitely be making it again! I added a little worcestershire sauce to both the onions and beef mixtures and used dijon mustard instead of yellow. Thanks for the great recipe!
