Cheeseburger Turnovers



I got this recipe from the Nelson Family Cookbook (Emily H. McKellar). It was delicious and made great leftovers.

Bread:
2 packages yeast (or 4 1/2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cup flour

Dissolve yeast in water, milk and sugar. Add shortening, egg, salt and flour. Mix well. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.

Filling:
1 1/2 pounds ground hamburger (I only used 1 lb and it was plenty)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (8-oz) can tomato sauce
2 cups grated cheese

Cook hamburger and onion. Add tomato sauce and cheese. Divide bread dough into 16 balls. Flatten and fill with 3 tablespoons filling. Pinch closed. Place seam side down on baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 8-12 minutes.

The next time we make this we are going to add chopped green peppers, olives and mushrooms to the filling.
