1- Creating this frozen bread dough beef cabbage recipe involves straightforward steps that yield delicious results in about 45 minutes. Start by thawing the frozen bread dough according to package instructions to ensure it’s easy to handle. This recipe makes around 18 buns, perfect for sharing with family or meal prepping for the week.

2- First, divide each loaf of thawed bread dough into 6 even pieces, making a total of 18 pieces. Roll each piece into balls and cover them with a clean tea towel; set them aside to rest. Next, in a large pot over medium heat, crumble the ground beef and cook while stirring until it’s no longer pink, then drain all the fat to keep the mixture from getting greasy.

3- Add 1/4 cup water or beef broth, the chopped cabbage, finely chopped onions (or 1 large onion), and 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook while stirring occasionally until the cabbage softens. Make sure to drain all liquid very well to avoid sogginess in the final buns.

4- Once the mixture is ready, mix in 1/2 to 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, and 2 teaspoons black pepper; stir well and set aside. On a lightly floured board, roll each dough ball into 5-inch squares. Place about 3/4 cup of the beef and cabbage mixture into the center of each square, then fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal the edges.

5-Finishing and Baking Steps: Place the buns seam-side down on a greased baking sheet and preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the buns turn golden brown. After baking, remove them from the oven and brush each bun with melted butter for a flavorful finish. Serve them hot or warm for the best taste, and enjoy the homemade comfort.
