Sauerkraut Bierocks Casserole Recipe

Community Pick

"I grew up on sauerkraut bierocks but, unfortunately, never learned how to make them from my grandma. I found this recipe on another site and have added some things to make this taste just like the ones she made. (Grandma didn't put cheese in her bierocks but it's a great addition here!)"

This was oh so easy to put together, but for us the Worcestershire sauce was way too strong. I'll probably use something else to replace it next time, but not sure what. Maybe try some soy sauce. I was also surprised that the bottom crescent roll was crisp. I did sprinkle both with garlic powder as suggested as I could not find the butter and garlic rolls. I used fresh cabbage in place of the sauerkraut for personal preference. Thanks for a nice quick meal for the Holiday season when everyone is so busy. Made for PRMR

This was SOOOO good! It reminds me of the Runza's we used to buy in Omaha years ago. So, so good! I pretty much followed the recipe word-for-word, except I used half venison burger and half beef, and about a teaspoon of garlic powder instead of the fresh stuff. Will definitely keep this one in my KEEPER file. The other way I've made this is with thawed out frozen bread dough. The crescent rolls make this incredibly zippy-quick to make.

This is a quick and easy dinner. I cut the recipe in half and skipped the cheese to cut down on the fat content. Delicious! I will be making this again. Made for Review My Recipe. Thanks for posting a keeper!

Five stars for: taste and ease and universal enjoyment in my home. Husband and both sons loooove this recipe! I like it because I can whip it together quickly after work and everyone is full and happy. With trying to keep 2 teenage boys full, this recipe is a life saver. My boys walk in the house after 3 hours of daily practice and they're STARVED! What a blessing to be able to have dinner on table so quickly. Thanks for a keep recipe! Oh! And I add a 15oz. can of drained, diced tomatoes to the meat mixture too (extra veggies!).

*** Made this for PAC Spring '08*** This was awesome!!! Since DH wasn't eating it, I was able to add all the red pepper flakes, and use garlic. It smelled heavenly when cooking. I used cabbage instead of sauerkraut and it was fabulous. I'm glad I have leftovers.
