These meat-and-cabbage-mixture filled sweet rolls make a great main dish, and are also great as a snack. They reheat well, so leftovers are also great! Sauerkraut can be used in place of the cabbage for more of a 'kraut flavor'.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 ½ (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 cups warm water

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup powdered milk

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ cup shortening

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • 3 cups shredded cabbage

  • 3 tablespoons prepared mustard

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

  • ½ cup shredded, processed American cheese

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. To Make Sweet Dough: In a medium bowl combine the yeast, sugar and water and mix together; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in flour, dry milk, baking powder and shortening, then knead mixture for 10 minutes, adding as little flour as necessary. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, then knead again.

  2. To Make Filling: Meanwhile, brown beef, sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drain extra fat from skillet, then stir in cabbage, mustard, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add cheese and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Flatten a piece of dough. Place large spoonful of meat filling onto dough and fold over to form a round bun. Lay folded-side-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

  5. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
