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.

Time 1h55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
¼ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup warm water
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 small head cabbage, cored and shredded
1 tablespoon garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 slices process cheese food (such as Velveeta®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix flour, butter, sugar, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl; pour in warm water. Stir mixture into a soft ball. Roll dough out on a floured surface; knead until dough is elastic, 3 to 4 minutes. Place dough in a bowl and cover with a towel; allow to rise in a warm and dry area, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add cabbage; cook until cabbage is steamed and wilted, about 10 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Split dough in half. Roll each piece to fit an 8x8-inch baking dish. Press one of the crusts into the bottom and up the sides of the baking dish. Spoon hamburger mixture into crust; cover with cheese slices. Cover cheese layer with second crust; pinch edges of both crust together to seal.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cover casserole with aluminum foil and bake until filling is hot, about 10 minutes more. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes before cutting.

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...

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.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful casserole, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Add some diced onion and green pepper to the meat mixture for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have any cream of mushroom soup, you can use cream of celery soup or cream of chicken soup instead.
  • If you like your casserole cheesy, add some shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese to the top before baking.
  • Serve the casserole with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Runza Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and minimal prep time, this casserole can be ready for the oven in minutes. The combination of ground beef, cabbage, and spices creates a savory and satisfying flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
