Brooks
- Ready In:
- 1hr 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
12-15 brooks
- Serves:
- 12-15
ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) box hot roll mix, made according to directions
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (or more if you like, you could even add cayenne)
- 1 large head of cabbage, cut into small pieces
- 1 large onion, diced
- salt & pepper
- 12 slices cheese
directions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Make hot roll dough according to directions on the box and allow to rise once.
- Brown beef over medium heat with chili powder, drain. You could try this mixing in sausage or venison, too.
- While beef browns, cook cabbage and onion in a little water with salt and pepper, then drain.
- Mix beef and cabbage mixture together in a large bowl.
- Roll dough out thin and cut into squares that are about 8" on each side.
- Spoon two heaping tablespoons of the beef/cabbage mixture in the center of the square, then fold the corners in to meet at a point at the top of the brook. It will look like a "X.".
- Place the brooks, "X" side down, on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake until dough browns.
- Plate, then slit the top to slide in your slice of cheese (Velveeta is what Grandma used, but I'd probably stick with real cheese - and most any cheese would be yummy, from cheddar to pepper jack.).
- Grandma always served this with potato chips and dill pickles.
- Bet you can't each just one!
