This might be a bit more than a novice will want to try, but, really it's not that difficult of a recipe. Kids generally like it, even with the sauerkraut.
You need:
2 cookie pans lined with aluminium foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
1 large deep skillet.
1 rolling pin.
One 16 ounce box of Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix or equivalent.
About 2 1/2 pounds of ground beef. (80/20 or 73/27--the numbers indicate the percentage of meat to fat.)
One large onion. ( Peeled, cored and chopped)
One stick of melted butter and a basting brush.
One 32 ounce jar of sauerkraut. Drained
A couple of tablespoons of flour.
A good appetite.
Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in the skillet, drain most of the fat. Add the sauerkraut and stir until thoroughly warm/hot.
Follow the hot roll mix box instructions for how to make the dough. (You will not need the 13 x 9 in baking pan. Do not preheat the oven to 350 degrees yet.)
After letting the dough sit for 5 minutes, as directed. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Then roll out the dough on a large counter top that you've lightly sprinkled some flour on and cut into about 24 squares.
Add the ground beef, onion and kraut mix and fold the dough over until it covers the mixture. Place fold side down on the aluminium foil You want as thin a layer of dough as possible. Place about 12 pies on each cookie sheet and place in the 200 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Remove trays from oven and increase temp to 350 degrees. Baste the top of the pies with the melted butter. Once preheated, place one pan of pies on the second oven rack from the top or the center rack. Cook for another 15-18 minutes. Then remove and add the second pan.
Enjoy a savory, tangy dinner.
