Ingredients
For the bread:
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
- 12 ounces Velveeta®, cubed
- 1 (11-ounce) package refrigerated thin-crust pizza dough
- 1 1/2 cups Cheddar-Jack cheese, grated
For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2 –Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3 –In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4 –Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 5 –Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings in the skillet, draining the remainder.
Step 6 –In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the onions and the ground beef and cook, while crumbling the meat, until the onions are soft and the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 7 –Drain the excess grease from the skillet.
Step 8 –Return the beef mixture to the skillet and place it over low heat.
Step 9 –Add the bacon and the steak seasoning to the skillet and stir to combine.
Step 10 –Add the Velveeta to the skillet and stir continuously until the cheese is melted.
Step 11 –Transfer the pan away from the heat.
Step 12 –Roll the pizza dough out on the prepared baking sheet into a 15×10-inch rectangle.
Step 13 –Spread the meat mixture evenly on top of the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch at the edges to allow for spreading.
Step 14 –Top the meat mixture with the Cheddar-Jack cheese.
Step 15 –Starting with the long sides, roll the pizza dough up, pinching the edges together to seal.
Step 16 –Bake, seam-side down, until golden-brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 17 –Allow the bread to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 18 –In a bowl, add the mayonnaise, the ketchup, the salt, and the pepper and whisk to combine.
Step 19 –Serve the bread with the dip.
