Bierocks are soft, golden German-style meat turnovers stuffed with a savory filling of ground beef, cabbage, onion and carrot, with a little melted mozzarella tucked inside. Frozen dinner roll dough makes them easy to assemble, and they are delicious served hot or cold. They also freeze beautifully for quick meals later.

I had one of these at a German Festival in South Dakota about 15 years ago. It was delicious and I could never remember what they were called until now. It was just how I remembered.
Ingredients
- 24 frozen dinner roll dough balls, thawed
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup minced onion

Brown ground beef in a separate skillet and drain well.

Cook uncovered over medium to low heat for an additional 10 minutes.

Using 2 pieces of dough, roll the dough into a 6-inch circle.
