An easy way to make Bierocks or German burgers by using frozen dinner rolls and Polska Kielbasa sausage for flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen dinner rolls (36 count) (defrosted)
- 12oz Hillshire Farm Polska Kielbasa Sausage (finely chopped in food processor)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cups shredded cabbage (hand shred or use food processor)
- 1 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 cup minced carrot (finely chopped in food processor)
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon pepper (add 1/2 teaspoon and add more to taste)
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt (add 1/2 teaspoon and add more to taste)
- 1 stick butter (melted)
Optional
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded Colby and Monterey Jack mix cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (add to melted butter for additional flavor)
Note
If your oven runs hot, reduce the baking heat to 325°F. Cheese can be added as an option, but is not needed. Serve with mustard or sriracha sauce for heat.
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Add olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Let the pan heat up and add cabbage, carrots, and onions to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Add chopped sausage, salt, and pepper to the vegetables. Stir and taste. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 more minutes or until all the vegetables are tender. When the vegetable mixture is done cooking, place the mixture into a colander and let all the juices drain. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Roll out dinner rolls or flatten with your hands into 3" circles. Place a heaping tablespoon of the vegetable mixture into the center and pinch closed. Optional - place a pinch of shredded cheese on top of the vegetable mix before closing the roll. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Place each roll with the pinched sides down onto a parchment covered pan. Brush with melted butter (optional - garlic powder). Bake at 350ºF for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve. | |
