The ultimate lockdown treat: Mum’s VERY tasty twist on a traditional cob loaf recipe takes the internet by storm
- A home cook has used a cob loaf to make a hearty dinner for her family
- She filled the bread with mince, vegetables and cheese instead of a dip
- The idea has been praised for being the perfect meal to eat in quarantine
An Australian woman has inspired home cooks across Australia after sharing her unique twist on the traditional cob loaf dip.
The savvy mum used 10 ingredients – mince, onion, gravy mix, water, beef stock cube, tomato sauce, parsley, grated cheese, tomato and a cob loaf – to transform the party-pleaser dish into a hearty dinner for the family.
The woman is the latest in a line of home cooks who have used a hollowed out cob loaf for a tasty dinner creation instead of filling it with a dip made of spinach, French onion soup mix and cheese.
‘This was tonight’s dinner. This is the basic recipe, but I generally modify it by adding extra veggies, garlic and swapping gravy mix for pepper sauce,’ she wrote on Facebook.

First, the woman cut a circle in the base of the cob loaf and removed the soft bread to make it into crumbs.
She then melted the butter in a pan and added in the onion, mince, gravy mix, water, crumbled stock cube and sauce.
The amateur chef placed cheese and tomato in bread case, topped it with the meat mixture then wrapped the loaf in foil and cooked it in the oven for 35 minutes.

Other Facebook users praised the woman on sharing a simple and delicious recipe, and said they couldn’t wait to try it themselves.
‘Wow looks fantastic I’m definitely trying. Thank you,’ one person commented. ‘What a great idea. Will be making,’ another agreed.
‘There is only two of us here, so might make it but use bread rolls instead of cob loaf and freeze the unused ones,’ another suggested.

This woman isn’t the only one who has impressed the internet with a thrifty recipe as an amateur chef recently prepared a cob loaf with the traditional dip in an air fryer.
The home cook, who posted the steps to Facebook, mixed sour cream, French onion soup, cream cheese, frozen spinach and cheese.
She then spooned the entire mixture into the loaf and put it in the microwave for one minute before placing it in a $69 Kmart 3-in-1 Air Fryer for an additional five on 180.

The woman explained that heating the mixture before placing it in the air fryer made the cooking process much faster.
‘I heated the mixture in the microwave so it was only the bread that needed toasting [in the air fryer],’ she wrote on Facebook.
She continued: ‘I also put the pieces of bread in the grill but chucked them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes when I took the cob loaf out.’
