Time 1h35m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 head cabbage, finely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
36 frozen dinner rolls, thawed
2 quarts vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in ground beef, and cook until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes more. Add the chopped cabbage; cook and stir until the cabbage has softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to cool until cool enough to handle.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, flatten a dinner roll, and place several tablespoons of the cabbage mixture in the center. Pull the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fry bierocks a few at a time in the preheated oil on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes; drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your bierrocks. Look for good-quality ground beef, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful beer.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise properly and become light and fluffy.
  • Fill the bierrocks generously: Don't be afraid to fill the bierrocks with plenty of filling. The more filling, the better!
  • Bake the bierrocks until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the bierrocks are cooked through and that the crust is crispy.
  • Serve the bierrocks warm: Bierrocks are best served warm, so enjoy them right out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Bierrocks are a delicious and easy-to-make food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a party or potluck, or for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious bierrocks that your family and friends will love.
