Shred cabbage and slice onion. Cook ground beef with onion until it loses its
pink color. Add cabbage. Cook covered for 20 minutes. Drain.
Roll dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 5 inch squares. Put meat
mixture on dough. Pinch opposite corners of dough square together to enclose
meat mixture. Put meat squares on a greased cookie sheet and let sit 10 minutes.
