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

Yield: 16 Servings

30 10 40

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

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

With Johnsonville Italian Sausage.
Featured Sponsor
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.

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.

These took an hour to rise the first time and another hour to do the 2nd rise... plan extra time into your schedule if you are cooking these. The dough is wonderful to work with though! We filled ours with sloppy joe mix, turned out yummy!

I always make a double batch of these. One is the regular recipe and the other is adapted for pizza fillings. I freeze one batch - they reheat wonderfully!

These are so very yummy. I have to keep it a secret if I make them or I will have everyone I know at the door.
