Authentic German Kraut Burgers Recipe
A German favorite! The ground mustard makes the difference. These are easy to make and delicious! Goes great with a bowl of soup and they freeze well.

Thanks Lorraine! LOL! I hope you enjoy them! This is my German grandmother's recipe!


Sounds good, will add it to my next grocery cycle of list of ingredients to buy and try it out. Thanks BF.


Wow! These sound interesting, BroncosFan! Can't wait to try 'em!


Thank-you for this wonderful sounding heritage recipe.

Kind Regards


I know this would be good...It's just like a Pierogi with Mustard...YUM! 5's


I've been thinking of making bier rocks / kraut runzas / kraut burgers for awhile now. I may cheat and use frozen dough -- is that okay with you?


Sounds really good I love these types of recipes wrapped in dough. That mustard makes all the difference in the world.
Five forks and a smile :)
