Kraut Burger Pockets-Annette's image

When you're from Nebraska like I am, you're a die hard "Runza" or as some call them "Kraut Burger" lover. They are dough filled pockets of yummy goodness stuffed with very well seasoned ground beef, onions and cabbage. Many people also used sauerkraut in them. Sometimes along with the cabbage and sometime in place of the...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 can(s) grands biscuits (16 total)
2 lb lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 can(s) sauerkraut
1 c cheddar cheese, finely shredded
Lots of gourmet garlic (garlic salt and parsley)
Lots of ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to temperature on Grand Biscuits.
  • 2. Chop onion and add it to ground beef in a skillet. Season it VERY WELL with gourmet garlic and ground black pepper. (The seasoning is what stands out in Kraut burgers and Runza's, especially the black pepper)
  • 3. When ground beef is just about done, open and drain the sauerkraut VERY well. I put mine in a collander and use a fork to push down on it to get all the liquid out. Add it to the ground beef and stir to incorporate.
  • 4. When filling is done. Remove from burner and set aside.
  • 5. Get out your biscuits and open them up. Prepare a surface to roll them out. I do not use any flour on my rolling pin or the surface since there is butter in the biscuits they don't tend to stick. You may want to do one can at a time and leave the other one in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • 6. Roll out your biscuits in both directions. You want them to be a round circle, big enough to hold about 2/3 cups of filling and still be able to fold the dough over and make a pocket. See my picture as a reference.
  • 7. Place a scoop of filling in the center, sprinkle on a little cheddar cheese, then fold over one side of the dough and then pinch the edges together to form a pocket. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 8. Bake for 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. You want to make sure the bottoms are not doughy. Move to a cooling rack to cool for a few minutes before sinking your teeth into these little yummies. Enjoy!
  • 9. ***These are great to eat plain but they are also great dipped in mustard, ketchup or horseradish sauce.***
