Salad Foodie:
These are very similar to the Runza's I make from a recipe from my Great Germany Aunt Mae. Your Bierocks bring back fond memories of her from my childhood. I will try your version as well. These are great with simple soups as well (i.e. tomato) and they freeze remarkably well if make with fresh dough. Thanks so much for sharing.

Receta Bierocks (beerocks, bierochs...whatever, they’re great!)
A yeast dough stuffed with beef and cabbage then baked, this German “hamburger” has been a favorite treat whenever the mood to cook something different for others moves me. Make your own dough, use a box roll mix, or simpler yet, start with frozen dinner roll dough as I always do. Make them circular or fold up and pinch edges in to create a elongated star shape. These can be baked ahead, then reheated, or zapped in the microwave. Can also be frozen after baking for lunches. Ketchup is the dipping sauce of choice for most, but mustard or beef consomme weigh in too. They’d make a fun addition to Super Bowl Sunday food fare.

Ingredientes
- 2 pounds frozen dinner roll dough (24 dinner rolls NOT Texas size; save remaining 12 dough balls for another use)
- 1 pound lean ground beef (I used 91%)
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 large garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- (Other seasonings to taste such as ground cumin and red pepper flakes are optional but not traditionally German)
- Ketchup to serve (optional)
Direcciones
- Thaw 24 dinner rolls as per package directions and when there is still 30-40 minutes of rising time to go, start the filling.
- Crumble ground beef into large skillet, and add cabbage, onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until beef is browned and vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper and other seasonings as desired.
- Reduce heat and continue cooking 10 more minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally. Drain off excess fat if any; remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Roll out or pat dinner roll dough ball in circular shape about 5" diameter, and 1/8 thick*.
- Top with a scant 1/4 cup cooled cooked meat mixture.
- Fold two opposite edges of circle together and pinch dough firmly in center; then bring opposite sides to meet and pinch the side seams (refer to photo).
- Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Cover lightly with clean towel and allow to ALMOST DOUBLE in size, about 30 minutes depending on temperature of kitchen.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Cool slightly on cooling rack, then serve warm with ketchup (optional.)
- Note: *For Hungry Man size, prepare 2 roll dough balls and double up the filling on bottom circle, then top it with second roll circle and seal edges or crimp together.
