this weekend, i had the pleasure of dining at kristie lou's house. it was fun to see all the re-dos she is re-doing at her house. we oooohed and aaaaahed over several cute projects.
then, we ate runza casserole. if you have never eaten a runza with a nebraskan, you don't know what you are missing. runza is a nebraska favorite, a combo of homemade bread dough, cabbage and ground beef. they do make variations in the actual restaurant, but i kind of like the basic version. it's probably my german, not nebraska, heritage that makes runzas seem right to me, also...
they are great to make at home, but a little time-intensive because of the individual dough balls. so, kristie found this recipe, which was great. we'll both be eating runzas til we cannot anymore. but if you have an actual family, it would not take so long to eat them.
yum!!!!!!!!
Runza Casserole
2 lbs. hamburger
2 onions, chopped
4 c. shredded cabbage
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
1 lb. Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Use 9"x13" pan. Begin to brown hamburger and onion for a few minutes in a large pan and add cabbage to steam. Spread 1 tube of crescent rolls over bottom of pan. Spread meat on top and add cheese. Place second tube on top and pinch together again. Bake 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Cover last 10 minutes to soften crust.
Perfect for Runza lovers and so much easier than making individual ones.

Sounds great Bobbi! We Nebraskans love our Runzas :) What size pan?
hi lisa!
this was a 9x13 pan, i was thinking i might try to downsize it for myself sometime, though.
it's really good heated up, too.
how are you? have you been enjoying your freedom?!
I'm loving the freedom and have the next two days "planned"for working outside and playing with my plants!! I'm really excited about dividing pernnials and really happy that I'm not sitting in meetings all the time!!
i am on it. do you think i can disguise the cabbage so the j boys don't realize they are eating a vegetable?
lisa - NOT meeting is the best thing!!! think how much stuff you will be able to get done now that you are not meeting :)
carey. i am amazed at how it does not taste like cabbage. i do think the boys would eat it. must be the abundance of meat and cheese ;)
This doesn't really sound like my thing, but I'm going to give it a try. I think. But I'm leaning toward the real thing. Any recipe suggestions for that?
