Could anyone tell me what the recipe is called, where you make up a
filling with minced steak, and you stuff it into hollowed out bread and
bake it. A recipe would be good too if anyone has it.

Do you mean something like this?
Remember Roseann? She had that loose meat restaurant.

I've made this once before but the recipe I used was not exactly this one.
From memory I got it in an old WW cookbook called Summertime or something
like that.
It didn't have a heck of a lot in it and I no longer have that one.

What I do remember about the one I made was that it used mince that was
already cooked (still hot) and you didn't re-bake anything - the loaf was
already done and the mince was done, you just assembled it.

Also, I remember that you had to flatten it down with something for a while
then tie it with string - flattening it helped the flavours permeate.

It wasn't as flash as the picture or the description and I only made it
once. It was Picnic Cob or something like that, not an Italian loaf and
that's why it was in the Summertime book.

This is from Women's Weekly
Italian Picnic Loaf
Loaf is best assembled a day ahead.
INGREDIENTS

1 medium round Italian loaf
1 tablespoon bottled Italian dressing
1 medium young eggplant, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon shredded fresh basil
425g can artichoke hearts, drained, halved
1 tablespoon bottled Italian dressing, extra
125g mortadella, sliced
1 tablespoon sliced black olives
125g Jarlsberg cheese

METHOD

Cut a thick slice from top of loaf, scoop out centre crumbs, leaving a thick
wall. (Use crumbs for another purpose.) Brush inside of loaf with dressing.
Place eggplant on an oven tray, brush both sides with oil and grill until
tender, turning once, cool. Arrange eggplant in loaf, press down firmly, top
with tomato and sprinkle with basil. Cover with artichokes and dressing. Top
with mortadella, olives and cheese and press filling down firmly. Replace
top of loaf and tie loaf securely with white string.
Wrap loaf firmly in foil or plastic wrap, refrigerate overnight.

Serves 4 to 6.

I've seen them called Sloppy Joes.

Sloppy Joe's are tomato based, where loose meat is not; a bit like starting
with loosemeat and adding tomato sause to it. Here's a typical sloppy joe
recipe for comparison;

2 pounds ground beef
1 (12-ounce) can tomato paste
1 3/4 cups catsup
1/4 cup minced onion
3 tablespoons sweet relish
2 tablespoons chopped celery
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
14 (4-inch round) buns, split
Brown the beef in a large pot and drain. Return the beef to the pot with all
the remaining ingredients except the buns and cook, stirring, until hot.
Divide the beef mixture among the buns and serve immediately.

Do Aussies eat ketchup on burgers? A Sloppy Joe filling is just
doctored-up ground beef with ketchup, in its simplest form. They're
delicious. You can put in an elaborate number of ingredients, or just
a few.

Can be if badly made. Think very thick spaghetti sauce with meat in it
on bread.

Does that really sound bad to you?

One of the dishes I used to make in my college days was to fix a nice
pot of meaty spaghetti sauce, then dip it up with thick slices of
Italian bread smeared with butter.

It sure was good, but I try to eat better than that these days.

Sounds very sloppy and impossible to eat without decorating your clothes, but
my version of spaghetti sauce isn't anything like the "typical recipe"
displayed upthread, which IIRC included a couple of sugary items like ketchup.

LOL wasn't the poster who called it gross. But yes, many recipes do
sound disgusting even if they taste OK. Sloppy joes aren't one of my
favourites; too easy to get wrong.
