We Love Janet's Krautburgers!

Janet mentioned on facebook.com that she was making krautburgers for her family one night this past week, and got several interested and perplexed responses, so we decided to document the event and blog about it - during this gorgeous but monotonous time of year.

Recipe:  Krautburgers (or called Cabbage burgers in Ukraine)
1 lb. hamburger
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
1 med. onion, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste  (lots of pepper is yummy)
Roll dough (your receipe or 1 package of hot roll mix).

Lightly brown hamburger; add onion, cabbage, and 1 cup of water.  Cook until liquid is gone.
Drain meat and vegetables.  Let dough riase 1 hour.  Roll out dough and cut into squares.  Place a scoop of meat mixture in center of dough square and pinch corners of dough together to seal seams. (or wrap it up as you want.)
Place on greased cookie sheet and let rise 30-40 minutes.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min. or until lightly browned.

Scoop it up... out of the skillet...  (I don't drain the liquid, but have my skillet on a "tilt".  The liquid is yummy to drink afterwards!)


Pile it on...




Fold it up...


Ready for the oven...


Yummy! Let's eat! I like to cut a hole and add a bit of butter or margerine while it is still steamy..
