STEVE'S VERSION OF RUNZAS (Famous in
Nebraska)
Ground beef, onions, and cabbage wrapped in bread dough and then
baked. Can be made smaller and served as an appetizer. We called
these
sandwiches Bierocks. I assume they must have originated in Europe
and each country has a name for them. I have heard them called
Runzas also. They really are simple. I have found that I cannot
substitute anything for the MSG. They just lose the flavor. If your
ground beef is too lean, these tend to be dry. I sometimes add
cheese to them to offset this problem. I have also added fennel
seed, about 1 teaspoon, although the recipe does not call for it.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1 small onion, diced
1/2 pound ground beef
4 cups shredded cabbage
1/2 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
1/4 cup butter
Directions:
1. Divide thawed bread dough into 6 pieces and roll into balls.
Saute onion
in a large saucepan until browned; add beef
and cook until beef loses its
red color (overcooking beef will cause Runzas
to be very dry). Stir in
cabbage and MSG, cover and steam until cabbage is wilted.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees
C).
3. Remove beef/cabbage mixture from heat and
let cool. Roll each dough
ball into a 5 x 5 inch square. Fill center of
each square with about 1/2 cup of beef mixture. Bring opposite
corners of dough square together and seal. Place
smooth-side-down on a lightly greased cookie sheet and flatten
slightly.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25
minutes. Remove from oven and butter top of each pastry as soon as
they come out of the oven.
