RUNZA CASSEROLE



Runza Casserole image

This Runza casserole is amazing. The crescent dough that sandwiches in the casserole on the top and bottom is slightly buttery and sweet. A nice contrast with the savory meat and cabbage mixture. It may seem like a lot of onions, but they cook down and lend such a nice flavor. We went heavy on the pepper when seasoning the ground...

RUNZA CASSEROLE FOR TWO



Runza Casserole For Two image

Tastes like the restaurant but way easier to make! Hamburger and cabbage casserole... and my 4 year old loved it! I've also made this with onion powder, when I forgot to buy an actual onion! Just add a bit to the raw hamburger and then some more when you add the other seasonings.

KAREN'S RUNZA CASSEROLE



Karen's Runza Casserole image

You have got to try this! I made it for our Easter Potluck and there were NO leftovers!! It is very delicious and easy to make!

Provided by Lori Borgmann

Categories     Casseroles

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 can(s) refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 lb very lean hamburger (i used 93% lean)
1 medium onion - chopped
2 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg 16oz. shredded cabbage (i used packaged coleslaw mix)
1 pkg 16oz. shredded mozzerella cheese
dash(es) salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce and garlic powder to taste.

Steps:

  • 1. Brown meat. Halfway through add onions and cabbage, salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Cook on medium heat until onions and cabbage are translucent. Add cream of mushroom soup and mix throughly.
  • 2. Put one roll of crescent roll dough in bottom of greased 9X13 pan. If using the dough with the seams, simply pinch the seams together. You may need to gently spread the dough so that it completely covers the bottom of the pan.
  • 3. Evenly spread meat mixture on top of crescent roll dough. Sprinkle cheese on top of meat mixture. (*Note - I used 16oz of cheese because we like cheese. You may only use 8oz if you wish. I also made half the casserole with american cheese slices and the other half with mozzerella. They were both good so you can choose your cheese!)
  • 4. Gently lay second can of crescent roll dough on top. Be sure to pinch the seams together! Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes.
