๐ฅฉ Use lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7) to reduce excess fat while maintaining flavor and moisture
๐ Don’t hollow out the bread too aggressively – leave about 1/2 inch thickness to prevent the crust from becoming too fragile when filled
๐ง For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika along with regular paprika to enhance the smoky notes in the stroganoff
