Mozzarella Cabbage Burgers Recipes

CABBAGE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Divide each loaf of frozen bread dough into 6 pieces, and roll into balls. Set aside.
• Crumble the ground beef into a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain off grease. Add the water, cabbage, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring as needed, until the cabbage is soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like to use more pepper than salt. Drain off any excess liquids, and set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough balls into 5 inch (approximate) squares. Place about 3/4 cup of the cabbage burger into the center, fold the dough over, and pinch to seal. Place on a baking sheet with the seam side down.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, and brush with melted butter. Serve hot.

RUNZAS (CABBAGE BURGERS)

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef with the onion. Drain the grease.
• In another pan, saute shredded cabbage in butter or margarine.
• Combine the meat and cabbage, adding salt and pepper.
• Roll out the dough. Make sure you roll the dough out thin or else the runzas will be all bread when you bite into them.
• Cut into 7" or 8" squares.
• Put some cabbage-meat mixture in the center of each square.
• Top with the mozzarella cheese.
• Bring the corners together; dampen the edges so they are secure.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.

MOZZARELLA CABBAGE BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. dissolve yeast in warm water, add sugar let rest 5 minutes. Mix in oil, salt and egg. Add flour.
• 2. knead dough about 5 minutes, place in bowl and cover (I use a tea towel) let rise for one hour (Its draft free and comfy inside a microwave, that is where I put mine)
• 3. While dough is rising, while browning the ground beef add all seasonings and onion. (drain if a fattier beef blend is used) add shredded cabbage and cook down until the cabbage turns translucent and begins to brown.
• 4. quickly stir in butter and mozzarella. Set aside so it cools down.
• 5. punch dough down and knead about 3 minutes, let rise another hour
• 6. punch dough down and roll out into about a 18x18 inch square. It should end up being 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness.
• 7. cut into 16 even squares
• 8. put 1/3 C of filling in a square of dough
• 9. fold and pinch together one corner at a time
• 10. flip over and put on baking sheet. (I bake off 8 at a time so they have room in between them)
• 11. bake until nicely browned about 25 minutes at 325 degrees, brush with melted butter immediately.
