Bierox

What do you call an ox that drinks beer?
A Bierox.

Yes, Natalie will be available for all parties and special occasions to provide witty stand up like this.

These are yummy German breads filled with beef, and can be eaten plain or dipped in mustard or ketchup. I've tried adjusting this recipe by making the bread with whole wheat flour, and also by adding cheese inside, and neither were great adjustments.

Filling:
1 lb. ground meat
1 c. onion
2 c. cabbage
1 T salt (or less)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 T flour (optional)
Brown the beef and onion together. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until the cabbage is mushy. It works best if you can make this the day before, and refrigerate, but you don't have to.

Bread:
2 pkg. yeast
2 c. warm water
4 T. shortening
1 tsp. salt
6 c. flour (you can mix some wheat with the white or use all white)
4 T sugar
Dissolve the yeast in the water. Mix the ingredients, and let the bread rise twice (punch down in between). Roll out and put 1 T (or one ice cream scoop) of mixture in each bun. Pinch the buns closed. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes (or until the rolls are browned)
