Recipe Summary Kraut Bierocks

These meat-and-cabbage-mixture filled sweet rolls make a great main dish, and are also great as a snack. They reheat well, so leftovers are also great! Sauerkraut can be used in place of the cabbage for more of a 'kraut flavor'.

Ingredients | Beef Mince Pie Recipe

1 ½ (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

½ cup white sugar

2 cups warm water

4 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup powdered milk

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ cup shortening

1 pound lean ground beef

1 pound ground Italian sausage

1 cup chopped onion

3 cups shredded cabbage

3 tablespoons prepared mustard

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

½ cup shredded, processed American cheese

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

To Make Sweet Dough: In a medium bowl combine the yeast, sugar and water and mix together; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in flour, dry milk, baking powder and shortening, then knead mixture for 10 minutes, adding as little flour as necessary. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, then knead again.

To Make Filling: Meanwhile, brown beef, sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drain extra fat from skillet, then stir in cabbage, mustard, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add cheese and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Flatten a piece of dough. Place large spoonful of meat filling onto dough and fold over to form a round bun. Lay folded-side-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
