Ingredients
- 1 large loaf French bread
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 (0.7-ounce) package Italian salad dressing mix
- 1 (2 1/4-ounce) jar chopped dried beef, optional
Directions
Slice the loaf lengthwise, and remove the excess dough from the inside to make room for the stuffing. In a medium size bowl, combine all of the remaining ingredients and mix well. Fill the hollowed bread with the mixture. Reassemble the loaf, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve, approximately 3 hours. To serve, slice the loaf into 1-inch sections.

This is fantastic! Super easy and delicious. I made it a second time using ham instead of the chipped beef. I also added some shredded co-jack cheese.I will make again soon using ranch dressind mix instead of the italian, I think it will work well too. This is a must have from anything to bridal/baby showers to wedding reception dinners. 5*'s all the way!

I made this for a pot luck, since it was around Christmas, I used red and green peppers, added green onions, and chopped up some thin sliced Ham instead of the dried Beef. I also used Baguettes. It was a hit !!!! And looked like Christmas with both colors of Peppers.

Served this at two parties and everyone loved it. I did try it out first as it was written and there was too much cream cheese using regular french bread. I use a Baguette instead and just took out the top half of the bread and it came out much better. I needed two loaves to use up all the filling which was fine. I got more serving out of it and I needed it because everyone loved it. The filling could be used as a dip also and it would go over well. Definitely a keeper. Did not use beef but did add green onions.
