  • 0.8 cup milk whole (110° to 115°)
  • 0.3 cup sugar 
  • 0.3 cup shortening 
  • large eggs 
  • teaspoon salt 
  • 3.5 cups flour all-purpose
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef 
  • 0.3 cup onion chopped

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
  2. Add the milk, sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes.
  4. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  5. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce.
  6. Remove from the heat; set aside.
  7. 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.
  8. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes.
  9. Bake at 400° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
