Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to finely chop the sauerkraut. This will help it blend into the beef mixture more easily and evenly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the sauerkraut by hand using a sharp knife.
  • Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the sauerkraut before adding it to the beef mixture. This will help prevent the buns from becoming too soggy.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the beef mixture. This will help ensure that the beef is cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the beef mixture. This will help prevent the beef from steaming instead of browning.
  • Use a medium-low heat setting when cooking the beef mixture. This will help prevent the beef from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Stir the beef mixture frequently while cooking. This will help prevent the beef from sticking to the skillet and burning.
  • Once the beef mixture is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly.
  • While the beef mixture is cooling, prepare the dough for the buns. This can be done by hand or in a bread machine.
  • Once the dough is prepared, let it rise according to the recipe instructions.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal-sized pieces.
  • Roll out each piece of dough into a circle. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each circle.
  • Fold the dough up around the beef mixture, pinching the edges to seal. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake the buns at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the buns cool slightly before serving.

Conclusion:

Sauerkraut beef buns are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can be made ahead of time and frozen. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sauerkraut beef buns every time.
