# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 loaf French bread
02 - 1 pound ground beef
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 3.5 ounces dry white cooking wine
05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
08 - 10.75 ounces condensed cheddar cheese soup
09 - Dash of black pepper
10 - 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Set oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with butter. Add white wine, minced garlic, onion powder, and a dash of pepper. Cook until beef is fully browned. Drain excess liquid and return the mixture to the skillet.
03 - Stir in Worcestershire sauce, condensed cheddar cheese soup, and shredded cheddar cheese. Warm over low heat, stirring continuously until cheese is fully melted. Cover skillet and remove from heat.
04 - Slice the French bread into four even segments, then cut each segment horizontally to create a sandwich.
05 - Fill each sandwich with one quarter of the beef and cheese mixture, spreading evenly.
06 - Lightly spray each sandwich exterior with non-stick cooking spray. Wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until heated through.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For even cheese distribution, stir the mixture continually until fully melted before assembling.
