Directions: |
Directions:Slice the top of the bread to form a bowl. Set aside. Scoop out most of the bread from the inside bowl but leave some bread on the walls. Press hands against walls to compact bread gently. Spray inside of the bowl with oil lightly. Place the bread on a cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until insides slightly toasted.
Mix together gravy per directions in a saucepan. Add onion, garlic, and sherry. Heat to soften the onion and burn off alcohol leaving flavor.
Add sliced onions, sliced meat, or mushrooms to the toasted bread bowl. Pour in 1/4th cup broth. Top bowl with cheese.
When ready to eat, broil bread bowls until cheese is melted. Watch closely because it's super easy to burn under the broiler.
Serve with bread top, pulled bread pieces, and Au jus for dipping.
Serve with a side salad. |

Notes: Many years ago I was in Philly and was served this in a restaurant. Such a rich flavor. While there's was from scratch, this recipe is a quick version that still packs a mean taste. It's a winter Go-To for a quick dinner meal during the week. Hearty and heart filling. Made with love.
You can substitute many things for beef: seafood chowder, mushrooms, or much more. Perfect for a cold day.
