Runza Casserole
We had to thin out the cabbages up at the garden today – every seed took, and they’ve gotten big enough to start fighting for space and light. So I googled “cabbage recipes” and found this – “Runza Casserole”.
According to WikiPedia, “a runza (also called a bierock) is a yeast dough bread pocket with a filling consisting of beef, cabbage or sauerkraut, onions, and seasonings. They are baked in various shapes such as a half-moon, rectangle, round (bun), square, or triangle. In Nebraska, the runza is usually baked in a rectangular shape. The bierocks of Kansas, on the other hand, are generally baked in the shape of a bun.”
1 pound hamburger
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped finely
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 package Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (package of 8 rolls)
1 1/2 cup shredded cheese of your liking. (I used a sharp cheddar, and about twice that amount).
*In a large skillet, brown hamburger with onion.
*Leave burner on low and add shredded cabbage, salt, pepper and garlic.
*Cook until cabbage is wilted and soft (about 7 minutes or so).
*Grease a 8 x 11 inch casserole dish. Put half of the meat/cabbage mixture on the bottom of the casserole dish.
*Give yourself a near heart attack opening your first ever pack of Doughboy. OMIGOD! Even with the “this package is under pressure” warning… that was LOUD!
*Take four of the crescent rolls, open them up and arrange them so they cover the layer in the casserole dish.
*Sprinkle on half of the cheese. Repeat the layers.
*Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
DELICIOUS!! Hot or cold. Enjoy!

that cabbage casserole sounds amazing. Think I’ll get the ingredients on Monday and make for us.. maybe this time Jackson won’t slice his hand open cutting the cabbage. lol
@Serenole - I made it for us yesterday, after posting the recipe here, and it turned out BRILLIANT! Shane never has much of an appetite, but even he wolfed a fair bit down and agreed that it was a great meal.
*Hides the knives and keeps a watch out for Jackson, lol!*
Nice! (and yea, I try to keep sharp things away from him… he is 20 years old going on 12.. or younger sometimes. Brilliant and yet sometimes I wonder where he came from! Gotta love him though.
