"  I have been forced all my life to watch the Super Bowl. Because my birthday is at the end of January, often I end up having a Super-Bowl\u2013themed birthday party. Growing up in Colorado, where Bronco fans are hard-core, football was the sport of choice in our home. But I don&amp;#039;t mind; one football game a year is fun, especially when it&amp;#039;s a big event with lots of food. Ever since Brynn had cabbage for dinner last week, and a commenter mentioned kraut burgers, I have been determined to try my hand at it, and the Super Bowl seemed the perfect time for these hand-held pockets of ground beef and cabbage. The town I grew up in was originally German, and every harvest festival the local church ladies would make kraut burgers to sell.  Anyway, last night I ended up feeling kind of rushed, but it all turned out OK. I didn&amp;#039;t realize how long it would take to let the frozen bread thaw, the cabbage to cook and the dough to rise. About 1\u00BD to 2 hours should be sufficient, and a lot of it is waiting time. I thawed two 1-pound loaves of bread dough (in the microwave, eventually, on defrost; a day on the counter should do it, too). In the meantime, I saut\u00A9ed a minced onion and a pound of ground beef, shredded half a head of cabbage, then added that to the skillet. While the cabbage cooked, I divided each bread loaf into 5 balls and flattened them. Filled each round with about \u00BC cup of the beef mixture, then pinched it closed. Brushed those with olive oil (melted butter would&amp;#039;ve been good) and let those rise on the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Then cooked them in a 350 oven for half an hour.  Ooh, I started thinking that this technique would work with all kinds of fillings: ham and cheese; tomato sauce, mozzarella and Italian sausage; barbecue pork.  Here are some other ideas for party food that, like the kraut burgers, would make a good dinner for a family as well as a crowd:  Turkey Chili Tex-Mex Pulled Pork Chicken Skewers with Chirmol Salsa What did you make for Super Bowl Sunday? \u2014 Kim Walker "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
