Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 head cabbage, finely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
36 frozen dinner rolls, thawed
2 quarts vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in ground beef, and cook until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes more. Add the chopped cabbage; cook and stir until the cabbage has softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to cool until cool enough to handle.
Once the mixture has cooled, flatten a dinner roll, and place several tablespoons of the cabbage mixture in the center. Pull the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fry bierocks a few at a time in the preheated oil on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes; drain on paper towels.

This is an old German recipe handed down from generation to generation, using foods grown or raised on the family farm. I remember helping my grandmother make these when I could barely see over the kitchen table!-Ellen Batt, Hoisington, Kansas

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
1 small head of cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 small onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
24 Frozen Bread Dough Dinner Rolls
salt and pepper
melted butter

Steps:

Place frozen dinner roll dough on a sheet pan and rise according to package instructions. It will use 2 rolls for each sandwich.
While dough rises, begin browning your ground beef and onion in a large skillet. When the meat is about halfway done, add in the shredded cabbage and cover with a lid. Cook until meat and cabbage are done. Drain off any excess grease or liquid. Set aside.
When rolls have risen completely, lightly flour your surface. Remove two rolls and form a ball. Roll the ball out into a rectangle approximately 5"x7".
Place approximately 1/3 cup of the filling in the center of the dough and spread out from top to bottom.
Fold the bottom up and the top of the dough down and press to seal. Fold the left side over, pinching to seal. Then do the right side, gently stretching to cover the left. Pinch closed.
Place each sandwich on a greased cookie sheet, seam side down.
Let rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bread dough is golden brown.
Serve hot.

BIEROCK CASSEROLE

Bierock Casserole image

Growing up in Kansas, I have enjoyed Bierocks (some call them Runzas) all my life. The yeasty Bierock (or Runza) sandwich have German-Russian roots that eventually made their way west to Nebraska and Kansas. You can find these sandwiches at county and state fairs, craft shows and just about any fund-raiser in Kansas most any time of the year. About 15 years ago a friend I worked with, gave me this recipe for a casserole instead of a sandwich. We love it almost as much as the real deal! Note: I use only name brand crescent rolls. The cheaper ones don't seem to work as well. Also the original recipe called for only 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. We personally like the soupier mixture but you can omit the second can if desired.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 9 x 13, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 medium head of cabbage, shredded (about 3 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
2 (8 count) packages crescent rolls
1 1/2 cups cheese, shredded
1 carrot, finely shredded
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper

Steps:

Brown the ground beef and onion together until the meat is no longer pink. Drain well.
Add the shredded cabbage and carrot; steam until they are tender.
Combine the beef and cabbage mixture, soups and seasonings together and keep warm.
Lightly spray a 9"x13" pan or casserole with cooking spray.
Take one package of the crescent rolls and lay out in the bottom of the pan. Press lightly to form a "crust" and sealing as well as you can. Press gently up the sides of the pan about 1/4" - 1/2" high.
Bake crust in a preheated 350 degree oven about 7 minutes to give it a chance to bake thoroughly.
Take the pan out and pour the hamburger & cabbage mixture over the undercooked crust.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Take the 2nd package of crescent rolls and break apart along the seams and lay on top of the pan.
Bake another 35 - 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. (I will lift up the bottom to make sure that the bottom crust is done before removing from the oven. If you think the top is getting too brown, just top with foil until finished baking).
