Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1.5 cups Sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 pounds Bread dough (pre-made or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking up any chunks with a spatula.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the drained sauerkraut, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Divide the bread dough into 8 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a circle about 5-6 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.
Place about 1/4 cup of the beef and sauerkraut filling in the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal completely. Make sure no filling is exposed.
Place the sealed kraut burgers seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Brush the tops of the kraut burgers with melted butter to ensure a golden, shiny crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the kraut burgers cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
