- Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the roll dough package, typically around 350°F (175°C).
2. Sauté the Onions:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. Sauté the diced onions until they become translucent and fragrant.
3. Brown the Ground Beef:
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season generously with salt and pepper to elevate the flavors. Drain any excess fat that accumulates during cooking.
4. Incorporate Cabbage and Caraway Seeds:
- Mix in the shredded cabbage and caraway seeds, allowing them to cook alongside the beef until the cabbage softens and becomes tender.
5. Prepare the Dough:
- Allow the frozen roll dough to slightly thaw, then roll out each piece into a circle approximately 5-6 inches in diameter on a floured surface.
6. Fill the Dough Circles:
- Spoon a generous portion (about 1/3 cup) of the beef and cabbage mixture onto each dough circle. For an added burst of flavor, sprinkle some shredded Cheddar cheese over the filling.
7. Seal and Bake:
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, ensuring that the edges are securely pinched to seal in the deliciousness. Place the assembled rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Bake to Perfection:
- Follow the baking instructions provided on the roll dough package, typically baking the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn a glorious golden brown hue.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, allow the beef and cabbage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Be cautious, as the filling will be piping hot and bursting with flavor!
