Dough:
- Prepare dough by combining water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Let stand a few minutes.
- Add shortening and half of flour, blending well.
- Knead in the rest of the flour until you have a firm dough.
- Place in a covered, greased bowl and let rise while you prepare filling.
-
Filling:
- Brown hamburger meat with chopped onions. Drain fat.
- Add mustard, mayonnaise, cheese, salt and pepper; mix well.
- Set aside to cool.
-
Prepare Burgers:
- Roll out dough and cut rounds using a coffee can.
- Place 2 or 3 TBS meat mixture on top.
- Fold dough over and seal edges. You can stretch dough around meat to seal (dough does not break as pie dough does).
- Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and let rise 30 minutes or so. (Cover with a dish towel to keep crust from drying out.).
- Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned (less brown if you plan to freeze and bake later).
