Ingredients
1lbground beef
1package1 oz mild Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
2/3cupwater
1loaf16 oz French bread
4ozshredded Cheddar cheese
4ozshredded Monterey Jack Cheese
shredded lettucediced tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, diced avocados, or any other desired taco toppings
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain any grease if necessary. Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Holding a paring knife at an angle, cut a V in the top of the loaf of French bread, forming a “boat”. Pull out any excess bread in the center, making sure to leave a 1/2” border around the sides and bottom of the bread. Place the bread on a baking sheet.
Once the ground beef mixture is cooked, pour it into the French bread boat. Top with both cheeses.
Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with your desired toppings. Cut into slices to serve.
