Bierock Casserole image

Growing up in Kansas, I have enjoyed Bierocks (some call them Runzas) all my life. The yeasty Bierock (or Runza) sandwich have German-Russian roots that eventually made their way west to Nebraska and Kansas. You can find these sandwiches at county and state fairs, craft shows and just about any fund-raiser in Kansas most any time of the year. About 15 years ago a friend I worked with, gave me this recipe for a casserole instead of a sandwich. We love it almost as much as the real deal! Note: I use only name brand crescent rolls. The cheaper ones don't seem to work as well. Also the original recipe called for only 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. We personally like the soupier mixture but you can omit the second can if desired.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 9 x 13, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium head of cabbage, shredded (about 3 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
2 (8 count) packages crescent rolls
1 1/2 cups cheese, shredded
1 carrot, finely shredded
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Brown the ground beef and onion together until the meat is no longer pink. Drain well.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and carrot; steam until they are tender.
  • Combine the beef and cabbage mixture, soups and seasonings together and keep warm.
  • Lightly spray a 9"x13" pan or casserole with cooking spray.
  • Take one package of the crescent rolls and lay out in the bottom of the pan. Press lightly to form a "crust" and sealing as well as you can. Press gently up the sides of the pan about 1/4" - 1/2" high.
  • Bake crust in a preheated 350 degree oven about 7 minutes to give it a chance to bake thoroughly.
  • Take the pan out and pour the hamburger & cabbage mixture over the undercooked crust.
  • Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Take the 2nd package of crescent rolls and break apart along the seams and lay on top of the pan.
  • Bake another 35 - 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. (I will lift up the bottom to make sure that the bottom crust is done before removing from the oven. If you think the top is getting too brown, just top with foil until finished baking).

This casserole was a little too rich for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cheese.

This casserole is the perfect comfort food. It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to eat.

This casserole was a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the texture was mushy.

This casserole was delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more cheese to the topping.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The flavors were just okay.

This casserole was a little too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This was so easy to make and it turned out so well! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of casseroles, but this one was really good. The flavors were complex and delicious, and the texture was perfect. I especially liked the crispy cheese topping.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The flavors of the beef, cabbage, and sauerkraut were perfectly balanced, and the cheesy potato topping was the perfect finishing touch. It was a great way to use up some leftover mashed potatoes, too.
