Take-out Tuesday, Taco Bread Boat
This is what greeted me when I got home the other night 😋
A 2 foot long taco boat full of the last of the summer tomatoes
Piled high on a bed of taco meat, refried beans, sour cream and cheese
A blanket of green onions was scattered on top along with a few jalapenos, the one thing we have been able to grow this summer!
HHjr cooked it whole and then we sliced it up into 2 inch slices
A handy size for picking up and eating like pizza
The lowly weeknight taco supper transformed into a Wow Where’s the Party!
note: don’t toast the bread before filling because it might get too crusty and hard to eat

Nothing fancy here, and something you’ve probably had or tried, but it was new to me and I can’t wait to have it again!
TACO BREAD BOAT
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chuck or lean beef
- 1 pkg taco seasoning mix
- 1 small can refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
- tomatoes chopped
- 4 green onions chopped
- jalapeno peppers sliced or chopped, optional
- 1 large loaf fresh crusty french bread
Instructions
- Brown meat in skillet and drain. Add taco seasoning mix, and 1/2 cup water. Stir to mix and let simmer while preparing the rest of ingredients.
- Warm beans in the microwave or a small sauce pan.
- Cut bread in half horizontally, reserving top of loaf for another use.
- Place loaf bottom on a baking sheet. Spread cut side with warm beans and top with an even layer of sour cream.
- Pile meat on top of sour cream and top evenly with grated cheese.
- Now add tomatoes, green onions and jalapenos if desired. Gently press down on all ingredients to stabilize if necessary.
- Bake in a 350 oven for 10-15 minutes until warm throughout and cheese has melted. Cut into pieces or slices to serve. Leftovers are great reheated in foil at 350 for 20 minutes or so the next day.
Notes
This would be fun for a football watching party too!
