Runzas

This is one I grew up eating and it is still wonderful today.

Runzas

Ingredients

  • 1 package dry onion soup mix
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 pounds cabbage
  • 3 large onions
  • 1 box hot roll mix

Instructions

  1. Brown ground beef in the fry pan, drain grease.
  2. Chop the onions fine, and chop the cabbage into small squares. Put into a large kettle and boil for 20 to 30 minutes over medium-high heat until done (cabbage is soft and onion is cooked).
  3. Combine the cabbage-onion mixture with the ground beef and the dry soup mix in a kettle and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes.
  4. Drain off juices into a strainer over a pan. While draining, make the dough.
  5. Follow the directions on the box of hot roll mix.
  6. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  7. After dough is done, roll it out thin as you can get it without tearing or putting holes in it. Cut into squares as big as you want your Runzas. Take the squares and put filling in the middle (as much as you want) fold over and seal. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until light brown.
  8. When you take them out, brush butter over top of Runzas.

Notes

These are also excellent if you put a slice of cheese in with the mixture before you seal them. We use Velveeta for this and it is great.

These freeze very well.

You can use frozen bread dough for this. I have always used the box, but it sure can't hurt to use frozen.
