Kraut Burgers

From your great-Grandma S.

As a kid, my extended family dedicated one Saturday a summer to host our "Family Picnic"- and I remember two things about those picnics. Swimming until I was too tired to stand, and Grandma's kraut burgers, wrapped in tea towels and nestled in her green and tan wicker picnic basket.

2# hamburger
1 head cabbage
1 small onion
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 loaves frozen bread dough, thawed.

Brown hamburger, onion, pepper, salt and pepper.
Chop cabbage fine and add to mixture- let steam 5 minutes. Drain well.
Rollout dough 1/4" thick and cut in squares 4x4"- fill each with mixture and pinch shut.
Pinch corners together and put that side down on pan so top is smooth.

Let raise 30 minutes prior to baking.
Brush lightly with butter, if desired.

Also: prior to filling, spread the dough with yellow mustard so it doesn't soak up grease from mixture.

Bake @ 350* for 30 minutes.

Eat warm, or let cool to bring on a picnic!
