My Sister-in-law's Homemade Runza Recipe
Provided by: Robin Reckard
I love it when my sister-in-law makes homemade runzas. They taste so awesome, she does need to make them more often though (hint, hint). She is also one of those cooks that just cooks. Me, I need a recipe to follow, so she wrote it out for me so I could make runzas on my own too.
She makes her own dough some of the times when she makes it too. But I use frozen bread dough when I make runzas. Much quicker and easier.
How To Make:
Ingredients:
- Frozen Bread Dough
- 1/2 pound of ground beef
- 1 chopped onion
- 2 cups chopped cabbage
- 2 tablespoons of butter (to wilt the cabbage)
- Salt and pepper to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon of each
Directions:
Brown the hamburger and onions in a big enough pan that you can add the cabbage to it later.
Wilt your cabbage in the butter.
Add the cabbage to the beef as well as the salt and pepper. Stir.
Roll your dough very thin and cut into 6-7 inch squares.
Place about 3 tablespoons of your meat mixture onto the center of each square. Bring the corners of the dough to the center and pinch the edges together.
Place each runza with the smooth side up on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
I was just looking for something different to make for supper. So I am going to try this tonight. I even have all the ingredients so I don't have to go to the store. Just get the bread out to thaw. Thanks!

I love quick meal recipes that I can just throw together and not take a lot of time in preparation. This round steak recipe is quick and tastes super.
I can remember my mom making this quite a bit when I was growing up. I was a bit of a picky eater but even I would go back for more porcupines. I liked it best when she made it with homemade rolls and a big garden salad. I find myself making it quite often for my own family.
I suppose you could call this a casserole but with its spicy ingredients it isn't what I normally think of when it comes to casseroles. You can make this as spicy as you like it by varying between mild and hot salsa and peppers. This recipe is a favorite for our family get togethers and we all enjoy it a lot.
Casseroles are great but you don't always have the time to get it all ready for the oven and bake it too. When we are short on time and I want to make something the whole family really likes I rely on my old Goop recipe.
