Originally from Iowa, Runzas were a staple in our family dinners. Usually the beef and cabbage mixture was stuffed in fresh bread dough. This is an easy and quick variation that is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables! My 10 year old son loves them.

I added Velveeta sauce with this classic recipe and it was so good. You can make up a bunch and throw in the freezer. Grab them out and nuke them and they make a great snack or quick dinner.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb hamburger
1 large onion chopped
6 clove garlic minced
1 head cabbage chopped
2 loafs frozen white bread dough unthawed
1/2 lb velveeta cheese chopped
1/4 c heavy cream
1 stick butter melted

Steps:

1. Brown the meat with salt and pepper. Add the onion, garlic, and cabbage and cook until cabbage is tender.
2. Melt Velveeta with heavy cream. Add to meat mixture.
3. Roll out bread dough. Cut 12 squares. Top with burger mixture and pinch seams together. Place on baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes

Tips:

To make the dough, use bread flour or all-purpose flour. Bread flour will give you a chewier bun, while all-purpose flour will give you a softer bun. You can also use a combination of the two flours.
When making the dough, be sure to knead it well until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the buns their chewy texture.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
When shaping the buns, be sure to pinch the edges together tightly. This will help to prevent them from coming apart during baking.
Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Once the buns are baked, let them cool completely before slicing them open and filling them with your favorite ingredients.

Conclusion:

Runza burgers are a delicious and unique sandwich that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them with cheese, sauerkraut, or onions, or all of the above, runza burgers are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new sandwich to try, give runza burgers a try.
