Directions

Filling:

Brown beef with onion, salt, pepper, and othe seasonings to your taste..

Add cabbage to beef and cook until cabbage is kinda transluscent.

Dough:

Dissolve yeast in water, add sugar, shortening, eggs, salt, 1/2 cup flour.

Beat until smooth; add remaining flour.

Roll dough out thin on floured surface.

Cut into squares, approximately 13x7 inches.

Place meat mixture inside, bring 4 corners together.

Turn upside down on baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

I found this variation on the net. The recipe was not quite the same. But I thought I could add this for those of you who might want to try it.

Variation: Sprinkle your favorite cheese on meat mixture (can be frozen).

I have made these for years. The family doesn't like the cabbage part so I use cheese instead for them and add saurkraut in mine.

I love Runzas and how cool that you would share your family's recipe. I am saving this to try over the next couple of weeks. I can't wait! Thanks so much m'dear. :)

Oh my goodness, now you've brought back memories for me! I'm a MN girl, but my husband chose a travelling job early in our marriage and we moved all over the midwest. When we lived in Fremont, NE, there was a chain called "Runza's" - I had never heard of such a thing. It only took one bite to HOOK me, and I've never had them again since we left NE. NOW I can make my own - how wonderful! Thank you so much for reminding me of these tasty little "pockets" of delicious-ness!

Fixed these tonight! They were great! I did end up with a bunch of extra dough so I fixed them as flat bread. They taste great and were easy to fix. Great recipe, thank you!

I am from Culbertson Nebraska. That whole area was settled by german imigrants. When my mom married my Step-dad, she had no idea how to cook german food. She soon learned and this was one of her favorite to make... I want to get her cherry dumpling recipe that daddy taught her next. These recipes need to be shared and saved for future gens.
