CHEESEBURGER BUNS

2 pkg (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
3/4 cup warm milk (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp salt
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 pound ground beef
1/4 chopped onion
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
8 slices American cheese, quartered

In a mixing bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 2 cups flour, beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
In a skillet, cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce. Remove from the heat; set aside. Punch dough down; divide into 16 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out and stretch each piece into a 5-in circle. top each circle with two pieces of cheese and about 1 tablespoons beef mixture. Bring dough over filling to center; pinch edges to seal.
Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers.
