My mom stuffs soft homemade yeast rolls with ground beef, tomato sauce and cheese to make these tasty sandwiches. They're great leftovers, too. My son takes them in his lunch the next day. -Nancy Holland, Morgan Hill, California

  • 16 Servings
  • Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 10 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 8 slices process American cheese, quartered

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce. Remove from the heat; set aside.
  • Punch dough down; divide into 16 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out and stretch each piece into a 5-in. circle. Top each circle with two pieces of cheese and about 3 tablespoons beef mixture. Bring dough over filling to center; pinch edges to seal.
  • Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes. Bake at 400° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 16 sandwiches.

I too have been making these for years. My family loves them. I make 2 batches everyday during deer season using deer sausage and moozeralla cheese. They taste the same as leftovers the next day heating them up in the microwave for 1 minute.

I have been making these for years. My son loves them! They also freeze well. I do the dough in the bread machine and it has come out perfect every time of the many dozens I have probably made them.

 

Shortcut: Just brown ground beef and onion and garlic. Put it on the dough circles. Squeeze ketchup over and top with cheese. 

 

You also can use other fillings. Like chicken with cream of chicken soup and green onions we like. Or ham and cream of mushroom with diced cooked potatoes.

 

This is one of the top 10 recipes ever to come out of TOH.

We loved these! I didn't quite have enough filling to make 16 so I made a couple with ham and cheese. My kids ate these so fast they were gone in no time. I definately need to make a double batch with my family. The dough/bread is excellent. I will now use this dough recipe for my bierocks. I am going to try pizza toppings in some like another reviewer said just to see what that tastes like. This recipe is a keeper and I will make often. Thanks!

My family loves these, they freeze really well if I make a double batch. I serve with potato salad.

This dough is wonderful...tried ham and cheese, it was great, they are like hot pockets only much cheaper to make and they do freeze great, also tried filling with cream cheese beaten with a little sugar and raspberry jam, they were great. Definitely something I will make frequently.

These cheeseburgers are very tasty. I let my bread machine do the kneading & rising. Cut down on the work. I highly recommend these. Deb

These are great! My picky husband had 3 and requested the leftovers for lunch the next day. The dough is fantastic! I'm going to try the dough recipe for dinner rolls, it was so good. Mine took the times listed to rise.
