Ingredients

3 small loaves French bread, approximately 6 inches long
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature

1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
One 0.7-ounce package Italian salad dressing mix
One 2.25-ounce jar of chopped dried beef (optional)

Preparation

  1. Cut each loaf in half lengthwise to stuff. Remove some of the inside of the bread to make room for the stuffing. Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.

To serve, slice the loaves into 1-inch sections.
