Pioneer Woman Bierocks Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • 1 Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
  • ½ tsp. Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Cumin
  • 6 oz. Gruyère shredded
  • 16 oz. Bavarian Sauerkraut
  • 2 cans Grands Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits
  • All Purpose Flour, as needed

How To Make Pioneer Woman Bierocks

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef, sliced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is thoroughly browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the excess fat.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Combine beef mixture with cheese and sauerkraut: Transfer the cooked beef to a large mixing bowl. Add the shredded Gruyère cheese and drained sauerkraut. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Prepare the biscuit dough: On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit into a thin round, approximately 5 inches in diameter.
  5. Assemble the bierocks: Spoon three to four tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each biscuit round. Fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal and forming a bun shape. Ensure the seams are securely sealed.
  6. Bake the bierocks: Arrange the bierocks seam side down on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 17 to 19 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Cool before serving: Allow the bierocks to cool on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy while warm!

Recipe Tips

  • Prep your work station in advance: Before you start, gather all ingredients and cooking tools you’ll need to streamline the cooking process and avoid mid-recipe scrambles.
  • Adjust the spices to taste: Feel free to modify the amounts of smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin based on your preference for spiciness and depth of flavor.
  • Check the biscuit dough thickness: Ensure each biscuit is rolled out to an even thickness to prevent uneven cooking. Aim for about 5 inches in diameter for best results.
  • Seal the bierocks properly: Take extra care to pinch and seal the edges of your bierocks tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Let the bierocks rest before serving: Allowing them to cool slightly on a wire rack will enhance their texture and make them easier to handle and enjoy.

What To Serve Bierocks

Serve your Bierocks with roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze, a crisp apple celery salad, sweet potato fries, steamed green beans, and tangy beetroot hummus.

You can also pair them with carrot ribbons sautéed in ginger sauce, or chilled quinoa cucumber salad for a refreshing touch.

How To Store Leftovers Bierocks

Refrigerate: Place the cooled Bierocks in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Ensure they are completely cool to prevent condensation.

Freeze: Bierocks can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap each bierock individually in aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Label the bag with the date to keep track.

How To Reheat Leftovers Bierocks

In The Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Bierocks on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with foil to prevent drying out. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until thoroughly warmed.

In The Microwave: Place a Bierock on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, or until heated through. This method works best for quickly reheating.

In The Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Place the Bierocks in the basket and heat for about 3-4 minutes. This will help maintain a crispy exterior while warming the inside.
