We love these at our house! I modified the recipe a little because the first time I made them I felt like there was a little too much bread so now I just flatten out a single thawed out frozen dinner roll and fill that with the meat and pinch it shut. But they are definitely an over and over again meal.

thanks for the recipe. these were real easy to make. i added the bbq sauce and they ended up tasting more like sloppy joes than cheeseburgers. i took the suggestion of using frozen roll dough, didn't roll them, but used my damp hands to flatten them to the correct shape, i also sealed them with a fork. I pressed the meat firmly, which helped pack them since the first couple i made were more dough than filling. they never made it to the freezer, so i will have to make more next time. thanks again

I now keep a batch of these in the freezer at all times for a quick grab and go snack. The first ones I made had too much bread compared to the filling, but others have been better. I can't usually find frozen roll dough, so I either make my own or use Pillsbury biscuits (which are the favorite method in my household). The filling is very versatile so we never get tired of these. Thanks for a great freezer friendly idea.

These are great! I make a huge batch of them for my husbands lunch. The only change I would make is to let the beef cool before putting it on the dough. I find it makes the dough easier to close. I also use fresh onion and garlic instead of powder.

Great recipe. I used roll dough (Rhodes I think was the brand) and it worked out great. It froze well too. It will be going in my OAMC rotation. You could easily modify this recipe. BACON! Onions. Maybe cabbage if you want German Hamburger rolls.
