Easy Cabbage Pockets

Inspired by the traditional recipes of the Wolgadeutsche, or Germans from Russia, who brought their cultural heritage to my hometown, these Easy Cabbage Pockets, also known as Krautbrot or Bierocks, are a delicious and convenient meal option. Filled with a flavorful blend of ground meat and cabbage, these self-contained pockets are perfect for lunches on-the-go, and they freeze beautifully for later use. With a few tweaks to simplify the preparation process, I’m excited to share this beloved family recipe with you, best enjoyed hot and served with a side of ketchup for dipping.
