Diva's Cabbage Burger Bubble Bread

Warm homemade bubble bread has endless variations.  This German Cabbage Burger variation is so tasty and after rising, the dough pieces really do look like bubbles, henceforth the name.  I prefer to bake this bread in a 9 x 13-inch pan so that more of the bread pieces can become delicious and browned.  It is a savory monkey bread of sorts and a favorite easy Cabbage burger recipe version too.  If you have ever made Cabbage Burgers, you know they are time consuming and to have an easy quick Cabbage Burger recipe is awesome, they will curb your appetite.

Ingredients
24 frozen dinner rolls, thawed but still cold and cut into quarters
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 whole Onion, Chopped
1 whole Green Cabbage
2 pounds Ground Beef
Salt and pepper to taste, I use a lot of pepper :)

If you would like to assemble the night before instead of allowing the bread to rise at room temperature, cover and refrigerate.  Bring to room temperature then bake accordingly.

Arrange the frozen rolls on a sheet of wax paper on the counter.  Thaw for 20-30 minutes, and then use a sharp knife and quarter. (if you have a dog who likes to steal off the counter like I do, put the wax paper on a cookie sheet and put them up high or in a cold oven, lol)

In a large dutch oven pan, sauté garlic and onions; add ground beef and fry until browned. Add cabbage and fry until tender (tastes better if cabbage is browned well). Salt and pepper to taste. (I like tons of pepper) Drain excess fat from pan.  Set aside to cool or this can be done in advance and chilled, if preferred.

Spritz the bottom and sides of a non-stick 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the quartered rolls on the bottom of the pan.  At this point, they will not touch because the bread still has to rise.

Spoon ½ of the hamburger and cabbage mixture evenly over the un-risen rolls.  Repeat with remaining rolls and meat mixture.

Cover with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise in a draft free place until doubled.  About 1 hour.

Uncover and bake at 375°F for 40-50 minutes or until puffy and golden. (Make sure center bread is cooked all the way through) Pull apart and serve.  Enjoy!!!

Serves: 12

Can add shredded cheese like the restaurant "Runza" does in their sandwiches.  I prefer it without.
