For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the skillet along with the onion. If desired, serve the baked cabbage pockets with a side of ketchup, sour cream, or a dollop of Dijon mustard for dipping. These pockets freeze exceptionally well. Allow them to cool completely before wrapping individually and storing in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray muffin cups generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02
StepIn a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until crumbly, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Introduce the shredded cabbage, reduce heat to low, and cook until the cabbage wilts slightly, another 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a colander to drain excess liquid and allow to cool slightly.
03
StepLightly spray a clean work surface with cooking spray. Flatten each thawed dinner roll into a disc shape using a rolling pin. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the beef and cabbage filling onto the center of each disc. Fold the discs in half, encasing the filling, and firmly press the edges together to seal, ensuring no filling escapes.
04
StepGently place each cabbage pocket into the prepared muffin cups. Spray the tops with cooking spray to promote browning, and using a toothpick, create a small vent in each pocket to allow steam to escape during baking.
05
StepBake the cabbage pockets in the preheated oven until the dough is beautifully browned, typically 25 to 45 minutes. Monitor closely to prevent over-browning.
