Instructions: Make dough: Place 1/4 cup warm water in large, warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Add remaining water, onion, sugar, butter, salt and 1 1/2 cups flour; blend well. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.

Make filling: In large bowl, combine roast beef, barbecue sauce, catsup, liquid smoke and mustard; reserve.

Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured surface; divide into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece to 5-inch circle. Place about 1/2 cup filling in center of each circle. Pull up dough to enclose filling and pinch at top to seal. Place buns, pinched sides up, on two greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes or until done; switch positions of sheets halfway through baking time for even browning. Remove from sheets to wire racks. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat to serve.
