Burox
Burox is a hearty, savory dish combining seasoned hamburger meat, tender cabbage, cheese, and mushroom soup, wrapped in crescent rolls for a satisfying meal suitable for family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Fry hamburger meat, onion, and bell pepper in a pan and drain.
- Boil cabbage until tender and drain.
- Mix cabbage with cooked meat mixture, add cheese and cream of mushroom soup.
- Cook all ingredients until cheese is melted.
- Put spoonful of mixture into a section of bread dough.
- Pinch ends together to seal and bake at 400°F until brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of hamburger meat. You can also add spices like garlic powder or paprika to the meat mixture for extra depth. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the meat with a mix of sautéed mushrooms and lentils. Using pre-shredded cheese can save time, but fresh cheese will melt better.
Serving Suggestions
These Burox are perfect as a hearty main dish. Serve them alongside a simple salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They also pair beautifully with ham and potato breakfast casserole for a brunch spread. For a fun twist, offer a variety of dipping sauces like ranch or marinara on the side.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method will help retain the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Burox ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just assemble the Burox when you are ready to bake them. This makes for a quick meal option during busy nights.
What can I use instead of crescent rolls?
If you don't have crescent rolls, you can use puff pastry or even pizza dough as an alternative. Just roll out the dough, fill it with the mixture, and seal as directed. Both options will provide a deliciously flaky texture.
How do I prevent the filling from leaking out while baking?
To prevent leaks, ensure that the dough is pinched tightly at the seams and that the filling is not overstuffed. Additionally, placing the Burox seam-side down on the baking sheet can help keep them sealed during baking.
