Description

A lean version of a German beef and cabbage filled roll. They freeze very well, and are good dipped in mustard.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 medium head cabbage, shredded
1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 (8 ounce) package mild Cheddar cheese, sliced
black pepper to taste
2 (1 pound) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
butter flavored cooking spray
1/4 cup margarine, melted

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain fat. Stir in cabbage and onion soup mix; cook 5 minutes longer, or until lightly browned. Set aside.
2 Roll one loaf of bread dough into a 16x8 inch rectangle, then cut into eight 4 inch squares. Spoon cabbage mixture into center of each square, top with 1 small slice cheese and bring up diagonal points, pinching edges closed. Place krautburgers on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray, and let rise for about 10 minutes.
3 Bake for 20 minutes, or until brown. Brush tops of warm rolls with margarine. Repeat process with second loaf of bread and remaining cabbage mixture and cheese.
