What to Do

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil; saute cabbage and onion 5 to 7 minutes or until cabbage is wilted. Place cabbage mixture in a bowl and set aside.
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef 5 minutes or until browned, breaking up any clumps as it cooks; drain liquid. Add cabbage mixture back into skillet. Stir in dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix well.
Gently pull apart each biscuit in half, making 16 flat circles. With your fingers, flatten each circle into a 3-inch round diameter. Place 1 tablespoon of meat mixture into center of each piece of dough. Fold dough in half over the meat, forming a half moon shape, and firmly pinch edges to seal.
In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining 1-1/2 cups oil until hot but not smoking. It should be about 350 degrees F. Place stuffed dough in oil and cook in batches 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined platter. Serve warm.

Can you freeze this after cooking and then reheat?

Yes, you can. The only time I did, I think at 325F in the 10-20 minute range. It has been a while and I didn't make a note of what I did. Instead of frying, most of the time I bake these according to biscuit packaging. Less mess and I can do other things while they bake. Another thing I sometimes do after separating and flattening biscuits, I divide the filling over eight biscuit circles, cover with the other eight biscuit circles, seal the edges and bake. The recipe I have is identical to this except it doesn't include dill. I'll have to try it next time.

The Test Kitchen hasn't frozen and reheated this recipe, but we believe it will work. However, we do not think the oh-so-yummy flavors will be as good as when it's freshly made.
