A fun and shareable twist on tacos, this Loaded Cheesy Taco Pull-Apart Bread combines melted cheese, seasoned taco meat, and toasted bread for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large loaf of bread (sourdough or Italian bread works best)
  • 1 cup taco-seasoned ground beef
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican cheese blend)
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained well)
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • ½ cup diced green onions
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Prepare your taco meat by cooking ground beef with taco seasoning as per package instructions. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Slice the bread into a grid pattern without cutting all the way through—leave about ½ inch from the bottom to keep it intact.
  4. Brush melted butter over the top and into the crevices of the bread.
  5. Stuff the bread with taco meat, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions. Be generous—you want every crevice packed with flavor.
  6. Wrap the bread loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Unwrap and bake for another 10 minutes to let the cheese melt fully and the bread edges crisp up.
  8. Remove from the oven and drizzle with sour cream. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use a serrated knife for clean bread cuts, avoid overcooking the taco meat, and tent the bread with foil if it browns too quickly during baking.
