Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet; drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onion, diced pepper, cubed tomatoes, garlic powder, and pepper to the skillet.
- Stir in the sour cream and mix well.
- When ready to serve, cut French bread in half lengthwise.
- Cover each half of the bread with the hamburger mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding mushrooms to the mixture when sautéing the onions and peppers. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier option. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes. This recipe can be adapted for a lighter version by using lean ground turkey instead of beef.
Serving Suggestions
These Beef Stroganoff Sandwiches are perfect served with a side of crispy potato wedges or a fresh green salad. For a cozy meal, pair them with a bowl of tomato soup. You can also serve them alongside pickles or coleslaw for added crunch. This dish pairs beautifully with the Hot Tomato Hamburger With Rice for a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sandwich halves in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions, but be cautious to avoid overcooking the bread.
