Janice tried these and dropped me a note stating her husband had said if she wanted to open a runza stand in town, she coud make her fortune.

8 Rhodes frozen yeast dinner rolls
8 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup purchased coleslaw mix
1 tablespoon Sloppy Joe seasoning
1/8 teaspoon black pepper


Spray a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Evenly space frozen rolls on prepared baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and allow rolls to thaw and rise. In a medium skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray combine meat, onion, and coleslaw mix. Stir in Sloppy Joe seasoning and black pepper. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. When rolls have risen, flatten one at a time and place a generous tablespoon of filling in the center of each. Gently cover filling and reshape roll in a ball, concealing filling. Place rolls seam side down onto a baking sheet. When completed forming all rolls, lightly spray tops with butter-flavored cooking spray. Cover with cloth again and let rolls rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until rolls ar golden brown. Remove from oven and spray again with butter-flavored cooking spray. Place baking sheet on wire rack and let set for 5 minutes.


Hint: 1. 1/4 cup shredded carrots and 3/4 cup shredded cabbage can be used in place of coleslaw mix.
