I am a big fan of savory and sweet pull-apart dishes. This is a Great Beef and Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread recipe that will be a big hit and something different for your upcoming Super Bowl party. I have been seeing savory and sweet versions of pull-apart dishes for a while using either bunt pans or springform pans. I am using a springform pan in this recipe. You may notice that the ingredients might remind you of poutine (cheese curds and gravy). (Check here for my version of a poutine dish)

Why Poutine? The only additional ingredients you should add to make a true Poutine would be some type of french fries or maybe tater tots. Next time I will try throwing in some tots to this recipe. The main problem for me is that I like my potatoes (ie. any type of potato or fries) to be crisp. I’m not sure that could be achieved with this type of dish. But it sounds good, right?

What Makes This Recipe So Good

I am using pizza dough for the bread aspect of this dish. To make it easy, I picked up some pre-made pizza at my local grocery store. Sometimes your favorite pizza place will sell you a dough ball. I got mine at Trader Joe’s. I then cut the large dough ball into smaller balls. These smaller balls cook up to be the pull-apart aspect of the dish. Roll the small balls until they are fairly rounded. Don’t overwork the dough. I dusted them with flour and then let them sit for about 15 minutes so the dough would relax a bit.

**Took my pizza ball and cut it into small balls**

For the meat aspect, I used very thin slices of rib eye that you can get at your local Asian Market for dishes like bulgogi and hot pots.

Placed a ramekin upside down when I cooked the dish and reversed it when it was ready to serve

You can see from the pictures above that when dusting the dough balls with flour, I added some green onion to the balls themselves.

You definitely need a great gravy or sauce to dip your beef and cheesy bite! If you don’t have a recipe for a sauce, check out the sauce for my poutine here; check out the gravy for my turkey and waffles here; check out my bone broth recipe here!

I hope you have great success with the dishes you make for the upcoming Super Bowl or any other family get-together you may have coming up. As always, thanks for Spending Time in My Kitchen!
