Prepare the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the inside to create a shallow well.
- Spread mayonnaise over each half of the bread to add a creamy layer and prevent sogginess.
Cook the Vegetables and Beef:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Add Flavorings and Thicken:
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk together cornstarch and beef broth until smooth. Add to the skillet and simmer until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the Cheesy Bread:
- Spoon the beef and veggie mixture evenly over each half of the bread.
- Top with shredded cheese.
Bake:
- Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- For a golden, crispy top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
