Blue Ribbon Recipe
Imagine soft buttery yeast rolls stuffed with savory cabbage and beef. That's what these cabbage burgers are. The bread is sweet and fluffy. Perfect on its own. We opted to use ground beef, but you can use any type of meat you like. The beef is browned with onion and garlic so it's very flavorful. Adding cabbage and letting it cook with the beef and onions lets the cabbage absorb all their flavor. We never had anything like these burgers before and they're delicious. Comfort food all the way. Ours baked a little quicker, so keep your eye on them as they bake.
Note: As written, this recipe makes enough food to feed an army. We cut back the recipe to make 12 burgers and wanted to share the measurements in case you wanted to make fewer cabbage burgers.

How to Make Grandma's Cabbage Burgers!
- I use my bread machines to make the bread. Add 1 Tbsp yeast and 1 Tbsp sugar to 1 cup warm water and mix until dissolved. Place in the bread machine.
- Add beaten egg and butter.
- Add all of the dry ingredients.
- Set the bread maker to the dough setting and start the dough process. I have it set up so when I take one batch of bread dough out I start the next loaf right away. Then by the time the cabbage burgers come out of the oven and cool I can be working on the next batch.
- While dough in the bread machine, cook the ground meat, onions, garlic, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Drain the meat and set aside.
- While you are browning the meat you should chop up the cabbage. I like medium-sized chunks of cabbage.
- Add cabbage to the meat mixture and check seasonings to taste. Add about a half cup of water.
- Let simmer on low until the cabbage is tender.
- As soon as everything is ready to go, roll out dough on a floured surface. Cut dough into 12 squares large enough for a heaping 1/2 cup of the cabbage mixture.
- Place 1/2 cup of filling in the center of one square of dough.
- Fold up the corners and "just a pinch" to seal them.
- Place them on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, till nice and golden brown.
- Lightly brush tops of rolls with butter.
- Serve right from the oven and freeze the rest if there is any. Enjoy!!!
- You can cut this down. I only do the majority of my baking in the winter so I do it this way and freeze them.
