I make this only use cabbage also in mine, fry meat and onions, salt and pepper, drain grease, cook cabbage small pieces, add cabbage to meat onion mixture. Used bread dough, let rise then roll out. Bake on greased cookie sheets around half hour until brown. Put butter on top to brown at last couple minutes. Yummy! If you don't like cabbage, do not add.

The recipe you are referencing is Bierock. Both are awesome anyways! I miss when I was a little kid being at my grandparents and of all the great food. Still can't make sauerkraut and kielbasa like them.

These are my favorite!! I prefer them boiled and my Grandma makes them with boiled potatoes and cucumber salad!! :)

About as authentic as you can get, except it is a Russian German recipe, not a German recipe. It was acquired from the local native Tatars in Crimea. Prevalent in the North and South Dakota areas populated by Germans from Russia.

Thanks for the info Charlotte. My family tree started to point towards Russia but I could never find much about it. My grandmother lived in South Dakota.
