Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups ground beef
1 onion, chopped
4 cups shredded cabbage
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)
⅓ cup butter, melted
⅔ cup instant dry milk powder
¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 egg, beaten
4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir ground beef and onion until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in cabbage and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook and stir until cabbage is tender, about 20 more minutes. Set mixture aside to cool.
  • Mix warm water and butter in a large bowl. Combine dry milk powder, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and yeast in another bowl; stir into butter mixture. Add egg and gradually stir in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough is smooth.
  • Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thick on a lightly floured surface; cut into 4-inch squares. Scoop beef mixture into each dough square. Bring corners of a dough square together at the top and pinch corners together to seal. Place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining beef mixture and dough. Cover rolls with a damp cloth and allow to rise for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

3 (1 pound) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
5 pounds ground beef
¼ cup water

GRANDMA'S CABBAGE BURGERS!



Grandma's Cabbage Burgers! image

Imagine soft buttery yeast rolls stuffed with savory cabbage and beef. That's what these cabbage burgers are. The bread is sweet and fluffy. Perfect on its own. We opted to use ground beef, but you can use any type of meat you like. The beef is browned with onion and garlic so it's very flavorful. Adding cabbage and letting it...

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

FILLING
6 lb hamburger (I use deer or elk)
salt and pepper, to taste
garlic salt, to taste
5 Tbsp minced garlic
2 large onions
4 medium cabbage heads
5 loaves of bread dough
I have one person try these that stated they added cubes of potatoes to the filling as well!
BREAD DOUGH
1 c water, warm
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 c sugar
1/3 c powdered milk
1 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/4 c oil or butter (melted)
3 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. I use my bread machines to make the bread. Add 1 Tbsp yeast and 1 Tbsp sugar to 1 cup warm water and mix until dissolved. Place in the bread machine.
  • 2. Add beaten egg and butter.
  • 3. Add all of the dry ingredients.
  • 4. Set the bread maker to the dough setting and start the dough process. I have it set up so when I take one batch of bread dough out I start the next loaf right away. Then by the time the cabbage burgers come out of the oven and cool I can be working on the next batch.
  • 5. While dough in the bread machine, cook the ground meat, onions, garlic, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Drain the meat and set aside.
  • 6. While you are browning the meat you should chop up the cabbage. I like medium-sized chunks of cabbage.
  • 7. Add cabbage to the meat mixture and check seasonings to taste. Add about a half cup of water.
  • 8. Let simmer on low until the cabbage is tender.
  • 9. As soon as everything is ready to go, roll out dough on a floured surface. Cut dough into 12 squares large enough for a heaping 1/2 cup of the cabbage mixture.
  • 10. Place 1/2 cup of filling in the center of one square of dough.
  • 11. Fold up the corners and "just a pinch" to seal them.
  • 12. Place them on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, till nice and golden brown.
  • 13. Lightly brush tops of rolls with butter.
  • 14. Serve right from the oven and freeze the rest if there is any. Enjoy!!!
  • 15. You can cut this down. I only do the majority of my baking in the winter so I do it this way and freeze them.
