Cheesy Beef Bacon Ranch Bread (Printable)
Pull-apart bread filled with cheddar, seasoned beef, crispy bacon and ranch notes—great for parties and game days.
# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 7 oz lean ground beef
02 - 5 oz cooked bacon, crumbled
→ Bread & Dairy
03 - 2 cans (28 oz total) refrigerated biscuit dough
04 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
→ Seasonings & Garnishes
06 - 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
07 - 2 spring onions, finely sliced (optional)
08 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan or tube pan generously with nonstick spray or butter.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat, season lightly with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool slightly.
03 - Open the biscuit dough cans and cut each biscuit into quarters. Transfer all pieces to a large mixing bowl.
04 - Add the cooked beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, and melted butter to the bowl with the biscuit pieces. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated and combined.
05 - Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, packing it lightly. Sprinkle the sliced spring onions and chopped parsley over the top if desired.
06 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is deep golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
07 - Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm, pull-apart style.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It disappears faster than anything else on the table, so make two if you want leftovers.
- Everything comes together in one bowl and one pan, which means barely any cleanup after the crowd leaves.
02 -
- Do not skip the 10 minute cooling rest or the whole thing may fall apart when you flip it.
- If the top browns too fast, tent a piece of foil over the pan for the last ten minutes of baking.
03 -
- Use your hands to toss the mixture together because a spoon will not coat the dough pieces evenly enough and you will end up with dry spots.
- Shred your own cheese instead of using pre shredded bags, since the anti caking powder on store bought cheese keeps it from melting smoothly.
