Nebraska Cabbage Burgers Recipes

GRANDMA'S CABBAGE BURGERS!

Steps:

• 1. I use my bread machines to make the bread. Add 1 Tbsp yeast and 1 Tbsp sugar to 1 cup warm water and mix until dissolved. Place in the bread machine.
• 2. Add beaten egg and butter.
• 3. Add all of the dry ingredients.
• 4. Set the bread maker to the dough setting and start the dough process. I have it set up so when I take one batch of bread dough out I start the next loaf right away. Then by the time the cabbage burgers come out of the oven and cool I can be working on the next batch.
• 5. While dough in the bread machine, cook the ground meat, onions, garlic, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Drain the meat and set aside.
• 6. While you are browning the meat you should chop up the cabbage. I like medium-sized chunks of cabbage.
• 7. Add cabbage to the meat mixture and check seasonings to taste. Add about a half cup of water.
• 8. Let simmer on low until the cabbage is tender.
• 9. As soon as everything is ready to go, roll out dough on a floured surface. Cut dough into 12 squares large enough for a heaping 1/2 cup of the cabbage mixture.
• 10. Place 1/2 cup of filling in the center of one square of dough.
• 11. Fold up the corners and "just a pinch" to seal them.
• 12. Place them on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, till nice and golden brown.
• 13. Lightly brush tops of rolls with butter.
• 14. Serve right from the oven and freeze the rest if there is any. Enjoy!!!
• 15. You can cut this down. I only do the majority of my baking in the winter so I do it this way and freeze them.

• 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.
