Kraut Burgers

This is one of those reciepes that is hard to give exact measurements but ask me if any questions. Next time I'm going to try adding some tomato sauce.

1 pkg frozen rhoades rolls - defrosted (or you can make your own dough)
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
1/2 head cabbage cut thin (or buy package of coleslaw w/out dressing)

1. Saute onion then add hamburger and season as desired.
2. Add cabbage and let it cook down until it is almost see thru.
3. roll out rolls and add meat mixture to center.
4. fold over edges and make sure sealed at bottom (like a stuffed ball)
5. bake @ 400 degrees until golden brown on top

I usually have this with some fresh fruit. I have had marinara sauce to dip it in. Next time I am thinking about adding the sauce to the meat mixture and some cheese.............. I'll let you know how it turns out.
