Don’t let the name fool you—Garbage Bread is anything but trash! This beloved Midwestern and church-basement favorite is a savory, pull-apart loaf loaded with pepperoni, cheese, onions, green peppers, and more, all baked into buttery crescent roll dough. It’s called “garbage” because it’s a delicious kitchen-sink mix of odds and ends—but tastes like pure comfort.
Perfect for game day, potlucks, or feeding a crowd with minimal effort!
