My parents loved it!
But, being my father's daughter, I played with the recipe a bit.
Personally, used large Crossant rolls out of tubes since my family likes them better than regular rolls.
I stretched the larger end of the triangles before scooping the mix in and carefully, but quickly wrapping them up and I baked them instead of fried 'em (using the amount of minutes on the tube at 350 degrees F). ^^v;;
And instead of a head of cabbage, I used pre-shreaded coleslaw mix for a bit of color and the added carrots, I also chopped up some red pepper and added it in for color. I had to drain my browned meat (I used 90% lean ground beef), then added the oil and veggies so the liquid wouldn't soak the rolls too much later on.
I tested a small-ish slice of Sharp Cheddar cheese in half of them, but with the thin slices I used, you can't tell the difference - so I'd leave it out next time since it's not neccessary, and probably more healthy.
Truly, I am going to make these for work lunches once in a while, they're a lot better than plain old sandwitches or worse, canned/microwave food.
Thanks for posting it!!!
I used 2 balls of dough per Runza to make an adult sized sandwich but I rolled them out way too thin(read a review to do so - don't). I almost doubled the s&p, added garlic powder and worch. sauce and about 7C cabbage. Drained the fat from the meat before adding the cabbage, and again after it wilted and released water. Filling turned out GREAT. Not greasy, and didn't make the dough mushy. Will use the recipe again with additions, but I think it needs the sweeter home made dough. These will still go fast!
Update: I froze these UNBAKED. Heat oven to 350 while letting Runza sit on counter/baking pan. Bake for 30 min when oven is at temp. Do not thaw more than that. Perfect!
I liked them a lot. I fried some and also baked some, I liked the baked ones better. They're good with mustard, maybe next time I'll add cheese. Great recipe!
Yes this is the way Gramma and Mom used to make them only baked. and with thawed frozen bread rolls or make your own bread dough in bread machine. I have a miracle whip salad dressing mixed with sour cream and prepared horseradish for a good sauce. same as with prime rib......for a "bam" little kick of flavor.. they freeze well and reheat in oven or better yet microwave. once frozen use seal a meal or food saver roll and get the air out. they keep a long long time. but if you have anyone around they don't last. great for quick company short notice meals or snacks. I would give it a 10 rating if possible.
These were good and held together well but by strictly going by the recipe they tasted a bit bland. I will make them again using another reviewer's suggestion of adding dry onion soup mix to the meat mixture.
Easy and tasty! I made this even easier by using pre-cut cabbage packaged for coleslaw as well as bagged frozen onion because that is what I had on hand and they turned out just fine.
Made this as a quick weeknight dinner using refrigerated biscuits (i.e. Grands) to make a nice-sized portion. I made a half-batch. I used a whole bag of prepackaged coleslaw mix added some garlic salt and Worchestershire sauce as others have recommended and it turned out great. I pressed out one biscuit to about a 6-inch circle added a generous heap of filling and placed another pressed-out biscuit on top. Sealed the edges and rolled them under to keep from bursting. Placed on a cookie sheet and baked according to the directions on the roll package about 15 minutes. Total time from start to finish was about 35 minutes perfect for those busy weeknights. This approach will use half the recipe 16 biscuits (2 packages) making 8 portions about the size of a Kaiser roll. Will definitely make again!
I wanted an easy side for a german dish and these were great. I had to play around with it since I was making a much smaller batch (I cook for two). I wish I would have used more cabbage. I did add shredded carrots and used cresent roll dough. Next time I will use the dough mentioned in the recipe.
They were pretty good we dipped them in mustard and a spicy BBQ sauce. I also baked them instead of frying.
