Cook the bacon
Cook chopped bacon in a skillet until crisp, then set aside leaving some bacon grease in the pan.
Sauté vegetables
Add sliced onion and jalapeño to the bacon grease and cook until starting to caramelize, then return bacon and season with BBQ rub.
Prepare garlic butter
Mix softened butter with roasted garlic and chopped parsley to make the garlic butter spread.
Prepare the bread
Slice the top off the French bread loaf and hollow out the inside, then baste generously with garlic butter.
Toast the bread
Place the buttered bread in a preheated 200°C oven or smoker for 4-6 minutes to toast the interior.
Season the beef
Mix ground beef with burger seasoning in a bowl until evenly combined.
Assemble the stuffed bread
Fill the toasted bread with the bacon mixture, layer with cheese slices, then pack the seasoned ground beef on top, sealing the edges.
Sear the meat side
Place the assembled bread meat-side down on a hot grill or smoker at 220-230°C for 5-10 minutes to get a nice sear.
Finish cooking
Move to indirect heat at 200°C and cook until the internal temperature reaches 68°C.
