1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp each salt, garlic powder and pepper
1/2 loaf French bread
Butter, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
1-1/2 cups (6 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
In a skillet, brown ground beef and onion. Drain. Add salt, garlic powder and pepper.
Cut bread lengthwise in half; butter both halves and place on baking sheet. Remove meat mixture from heat; stir in sour cream. Spoon onto the bread. Sprinkle with tomatoes, green pepper and cheese.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted (bake longer for crispier bread!).
In a large bowl, combine the egg, 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce, bread crumbs and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four oval patties; set aside.
Combine butter and seasonings; brush over both sides of bread. In a large skillet, toast bread until lightly browned; set aside.
In the same skillet, cook patties over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. ( Please don't squash the patty down with a spatula while cooking it--you lose the juices!)
Spoon remaining sauce over patties; sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook until cheese is melted. Place each patty on a piece of toast. Serve with the extra slice of toast and a little more spaghetti sauce (warmed).
