Preparation:

Step 1:

In a large pan, add the meat in its raw state. Season the meat with seasoning mix, salt, and pepper, then sauté it over medium-high heat, crumbling it with a fork as you go to prevent it from burning and tossing it regularly to keep it from sticking to the pan.

Step 2:

Sauté for about 8 minutes, or until there is no trace of pink. Take the pan from the heat, pour off the fat, and then toss in the cooked bacon before setting it aside.

Step 3:

In a microwave-safe bowl or dish of small size, combine the butter and garlic. Sauté for about 25 seconds on high power until the butter has melted.

Step 4:

After slicing the French bread into four even pieces of the same size, cut each piece in half horizontally.

Step 5:

Arrange the pieces so that the cut sides are facing up on a baking stone or sheet pan. Each piece should be coated with melted garlic butter, then part of the beef and bacon mixture should be placed on top, and then shredded cheese should be sprinkled on top.

Step 6:

Bake at 375 degrees for ten minutes, or until the cheese has melted, whichever comes first. After spreading on some of your preferred toppings, place two pieces of bread next to one another to make the perfect sandwich.
