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...

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.

RUNZAS (CABBAGE BURGERS)

SO GOOD!!!! These "burgers" are super tasty and very easy to make. My family has been making these forever. They are from a restaurant in NE. When I got married, I made these for my DH and he LOVED them. For the dough, I usually make my own, but if you are short on time you can use frozen dough (Rhodes loaves). They freeze very well. When I make them, I usually make a big batch and freeze the ones we don't eat that day. Dipping in Ranch Dressing is oh so delicious. You can add so many different things instead of the cabbage mixture. I have made breakfast ones that I put in eggs, cheese, and sausage or bacon. Very good as well.
