Bierocks (kind of a hot pocket type food)



1 lb ground beef (think I'll add some sausage next time)
1/4 cup chopped white onion (Yes Amy...I used onion)
2 Tbsp veg oil
1 head of cabbage - chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
18 Rhodes Texas size frozen yeast rolls - thawed
Shredded cheese (optional)
1/2 stick melted butter

Preheat oven to 350

Let your rolls thaw or if you have more energy than me you can make homemade rolls. My kitchen is too small and I'm a little lazy so I buy frozen.
Saute your onions in the vegetable oil, when soft add ground beef, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook until meat is browned. Now don't drain the meat yet. While the meat was browning you should have chopped up that head of cabbage. Add the cabbage and the Worcestershire sauce to the meat/onion mix, cover and cook until cabbage is limp....I'd say roughly ten minutes. Taste and add additional seasoning as needed. (I didn't do this and wish I'd added more seasoning.) Now you can drain all the liquid off of your meat/cabbage.

Take one of those Texas size thawed rolls and roll out very thin. Put approximately 1/4 cup of the meat/cabbage mixture in the middle. Sprinkle a little cheese if wanted and then seal up that roll. Place your creation seam side down on a cookie sheet (spray the cookie sheet with some cooking spray first) and start again. When your cookie sheet is full, brush the bierocks with some melted butter or an egg wash. Pop it into your preheated oven and bake 30 minutes. It smells wonderful. I love the smell of bread baking!
When the bierocks are golden brown remove from oven and brush with more butter!!

I've heard that these freeze well and microwave well. I plan on using sauerkraut in my next batch instead of cabbage. I love sauerkraut!

made these last night....except used leftover chicken, chopped up and cooked in bbq sauce. Topped with a little cheese and they were AWESOME!

Also found out that you can thaw your frozen rolls on the fish defrost setting on your microwave, set for 1 lb. It takes about 5 1/2 minutes and they are perfectly thawed!! This is great for me since I'm such a procrastinator!!
