Bake time: 20 minutes
Serves: 6
Side dish suggestions: applesauce, tomato wedges
Supplies:
- rolling pin
- large skillet
- baking sheet
- 2 loaves frozen bread dough
- 1# ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 c green cabbage, chopped
1. Let dough thaw on counter all day. (Tip: spray waxed paper with cooking spray. Place dough on waxed paper.)
2. Up to several hours in advance, brown ground beef and onions in skillet. Drain. Add cabbage, salt, and pepper. Stir over low heat until cabbage wilts. Use immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
3. When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough to a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Cut into thirds. Each loaf should make three squares about 6 inches on a side.
4. Place 1/2 c filling mixture onto one half of each square. Fold each square over to form a triangle. Pinch edges together.
5. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray or coat with aluminum foil. Bake runzas for 20-25 minutes, until brown on top. (You can flip them over for the last five minutes to make sure the dough is cooked underneath.)

I also add shredded carrots to mine. Easy recipe to freeze and pull out for a quick dinner! Freeze runzas on a cookie sheet, then place in ziploc to prevent freezing together.
