1 dozen Frozen Lion House Rolls
2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons prepared mustard, (your favorite kind)
2 Tablespoons Miracle Whip (Mayo if you prefer)
¼ cup chopped dill pickles

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.Allow frozen rolls to thaw overnight in the refrigerator or 2-3 hours on the counter. Before making the filling remove the rolls from the bag, place on a baking sheet and loosely cover with plastic wrap.

In a large skillet brown beef, onion, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is transparent. Drain in a colander. Place remaining ingredients except the rolls and the American cheese in the skillet. Add the meat mixture, stir together and heat until warm.

On an unfloured board unroll each roll. Flatten or roll reach piece of roll dough until it is about half again the size it was to start with. Place one piece of cheese on the bottom half of the piece of dough, put 2 Tablespoons of the meat mixture on top of the cheese. Fold the top of the dough over the meat mixture and pinch all the sides together to seal. Place all buns on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes until the buns are browned.

Makes 12 sandwiches

Chef’s notes: You can substitute your favorite cheese for the American/Velveeta but it may not melt as well.
