Quicker and simpler it just can’t get. It’s harder to find a quicker dinner which will make your whole family fully and happy.

This recipe can also be used as a starting idea and you can adjust it to your taste. You can add mushrooms, carrots, green bell pepper, different spices or sauces. But the crispy crust of your warm bread baked in the oven, full of cheesy beef, will be tastier than any hamburger or other fast foods. And much healthier too.

And if you don’t need a whole loaf of bread, you can halve the recipe, depending on how much people you are preparing for. Also you have an option to freeze what is left and when you have the need, unfreeze it and bake in the oven again.
