WESTERN BURGERS

These are great for immediate consumption or made ahead, baked lightly, and frozen individually wrapped. I have made several batches, frozen, and have taken to our son's house 6 hours away. Our three grandsons love these because they can take one out of the freezer and warm it in the microwave and have an instant meal. Western Burgers were a favorite meal for students back when cafeteria ladies did their own cooking -- food wasn't contracted out. Upon request they reduced the ingredients so these can be made at home. These are good plain or with a bit of mustard. I heat frozen sandwiches in the microwave and then gently toast the outside crust in a small toaster-oven. When a microwave was available to students at school, our grandsons took them in their lunches with a cold drink in the lunch box to keep the sandwich cool (as it thawed) until lunchtime. Carrot and celery sticks are a nice side dish. These frozen sandwiches are also convenient for motorhome travel. HINT FOR EASIER PREP: For easier handling: Make meat mixture and refrigerate the night before. Once you get your dough prepared, divide into 10 balls. Divide cold meat mixture into 10 balls. Flatten dough slightly in the palm of your hand, place a ball of meat slightly flattened, and seal by pinching the dough together all around it. Place sealed side down on greased baking sheet. Let rise and bake.

1 onion, chopped (or less for taste)
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons salad dressing (Miracle Whip)

Categories     Burgers

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pkg active dry yeast. (i use fleischmann's)
1 c water, warm
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4 c flour
1/4 c vegetable oil
3 lb ground beef
10 slice american cheese
1/2 half of a small onion (chopped)
1/4 c mustard
1/2 c mayonnaise dressing

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the ground meat and chopped onion until done. Drain and season with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Turn heat down on low and add the american cheese slices, let melt.
  • 3. Turn heat off and add the mayonnaise dressing and mustard. Stir in to the meat and cheese mixture. This is the filling to your burger.
  • 4. Next is to make the dough. In 1cup of warm water, add the sugar, salt, and 3pkg of yeast to it. Stir to dissolve yeast and let set 1 minute.
  • 5. In a large bowl put in the 4cups flour and 1/4cup oil. Add in the yeast water mixture a little at a time to make a (biscuit consistency dough).
  • 6. Pinch off small handfulls of dough and roll it out on the counter top. Use some flour on the counter top so it doesnt stick. Add meat mixture to the center and fold the dough over it. It will appear to be like an enclosed biscuit or stuffed roll.
  • 7. Cut out the excess dough around the edges. I found that using the top of a large cup and press down over the roll cuts out the roll perfectly.
  • 8. Bake on a greased baking sheet on 375 until browned. Serve with mustard or mayonnaise dressing for dipping! I find that mustard gives better flavor and is the family favorite.
