These meat pockets are stuffed with cabbage and hamburger. I love this recipe, this one is from my Grandmother, who was known for simplistic cooking, and stretching food. Here we stretch together well seasoned meat and cabbage together, and wrap this with a bread pocket. This recipe is by Ethel Eynard. Jefferson City, MO. 1946.

Your recipe doesn’t mention when to add the flour. I would guess it goes in with the shortening, sugar and milk???

It is in the second sentence.

How do you get the bread pocket shaped. I had a hard time trying to make traingles. But this is a great recipe. My family loves these pockets even if they look ugly with the shapes. I added carrots and garlic to the beef and the taste was awesome. Thanks

My family loves these! We first had them at a family drive in restaurant in Ft. Collins, Colorado. We call them Krautburgers. One thing we do differently is to add fresh ground pepper to taste.(we like 2 or 3 tablespoons). You can also add jalapenos.
