Ingredients
- 2 packages 1/4 oz each active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 -4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 8 slices American cheese quartered
Instructions
- 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.
