Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Divide each loaf of frozen bread dough into 6 pieces, and roll into balls. Set aside.
- Crumble the ground beef into a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain off grease. Add the water, cabbage, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring as needed, until the cabbage is soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like to use more pepper than salt. Drain off any excess liquids, and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough balls into 5 inch (approximate) squares. Place about 3/4 cup of the cabbage burger into the center, fold the dough over, and pinch to seal. Place on a baking sheet with the seam side down.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, and brush with melted butter. Serve hot.

RUNZAS (CABBAGE BURGERS)
SO GOOD!!!! These "burgers" are super tasty and very easy to make. My family has been making these forever. They are from a restaurant in NE. When I got married, I made these for my DH and he LOVED them. For the dough, I usually make my own, but if you are short on time you can use frozen dough (Rhodes loaves). They freeze very well. When I make them, I usually make a big batch and freeze the ones we don't eat that day. Dipping in Ranch Dressing is oh so delicious. You can add so many different things instead of the cabbage mixture. I have made breakfast ones that I put in eggs, cheese, and sausage or bacon. Very good as well.
