Open stroganoff sandwich

The open-faced stroganoff sandwich is a delicious adaptation of a classic Russian dish, Stroganoff, which originally consists of strips of beef cooked in a creamy sour cream sauce with mushrooms and onions. This dish is named after the Stroganov family, an influential Russian family from the 19th century who popularized this recipe. Over time and thanks to cultural migration, this preparation has undergone multiple variations in different countries.

In Latin America, although stroganoff maintains its essence in the sauce and the meat, its name and presentation vary. In Mexico, for example, it is simply known as "Stroganoff" and is served with rice or pasta. In other countries like Argentina or Chile, its popularity led to the creation of this innovative open-faced sandwich version, where the stroganoff ingredients are placed on a slice of toasted bread, making it easier to consume as a quick meal or snack. This fusion represents the ability to integrate culinary traditions with local and modern touches.

How to Prepare Open-Faced Stroganoff Sandwich

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut the French bread in half lengthwise, then lightly spread butter on the bread and wrap it in aluminum foil.

Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

Brown the lean ground beef in a skillet and drain the excess fat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until the onion is translucent.

Remove from heat and add the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste; mix well.

Take the bread out of the oven and spread the meat mixture on each half of the bread.

Place the chopped tomatoes and chopped green bell pepper on top of the meat mixture, then cover with grated medium-sharp cheddar cheese.

Place it back in the oven and bake only until the cheese melts.

Serve hot and enjoy this delicious open-faced stroganoff sandwich.
