Max's Killer Garlic Bread

This bread gets rave reviews when I make it at Summer cookouts. I get requests for it all the time. It's not difficult but the addition of my "secret" ingredient really makes a difference over the standard garlic, butter and Parmesan cheese.

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Serves: 8-10
• Yields: 2 half loaves

Ingredients

• 1  large  French bread (split lengthwise)
• 1⁄2 cup butter (softened)
• 3 -4  minced garlic cloves
• 1 -2  tablespoon  ranch dressing
• 1  cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 -2  teaspoon  italian seasoning

Directions

1. Split bread lengthwise.
2. Mix softened butter, garlic, ranch dressing, and 1/2 the cheese together.
3. Spread butter mixture on bread and sprinkle Italian seasoning and remaining cheese evenly over split loaf.
4. Place on broiler pan or cookie sheet and broil 5-6 inches from heat for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
