How to Make Beer Rocks Bierocks

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cups shredded cabbage, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup beer (any kind you like!) and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each of 6 store-bought 7-inch round pizza doughs (or make your own!) to approximately 8 inches in diameter.
  6. Place about 1/2 cup of the cooled filling in the center of each dough round. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges tightly to seal.
  7. Place the bierocks onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of each bierock with a little beaten egg or milk for a golden-brown finish. (optional)
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bierocks are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
