Bierrocks

from Erin (from Menus4Moms) aka Irish Cheeseburgers
Dough:

• 3 cups of room temp milk
• 3/8 cup oil
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 3 packs yeast
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 8 cups flour

Mix together the milk and oil in a large bowl and add the eggs, yeast, sugar, salt and 5 cups of flour. Mix well, adding remaining flour as needed to to form a kneadable dough. Knead a few minutes. Cover and let dough rise for one hour in a warm place.

Filling

• 2 lb ground beef
• 1/2 head cabbage, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped

While dough is rising, brown beef in a large skillet. Add onion and cabbage and continue cooking until onion is translucent, adding salt and pepper to taste. Drain. Let cool.

• 18 slices American cheese
• 1 egg, beaten

After dough has risen, roll out pieces of dough (about the size of a tennis ball) as thin as possible. On each dough circle, place 1/2 slice cheese on dough. Top with some filling, about 1/3 cup, then the other half slice of cheese. Fold over and seal like an empanada, press with either your fingers or the tines of a fork.
Place each bierrock on a baking sheet, brushing with egg wash.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden.
Cool and freeze. To reheat frozen, simply bake until hot. Yield: about 18 Bierrocks.
