Runza Recipe....straight from Nebraska where my daughter went to college. We made basically the same thing here in Colorado but called them Kraut or Cabbage Burgers.

Runzas
4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 pkgs dry yeast
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/ cup butter
2 eggs

Measure 1 3/4 cups flour into large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, salt and yeast. Heat milk, water and butter till warm. Pour into flour mixture.

Add eggs and beat on low speed 1/2 min. then on high for about 3 minutes. Stir in rest of flour. Dough will be soft and sticky. Knead about 3 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes. Roll thin and cut into 5" or 6" squares. Place about 3 Tbs cooled meat mix in center. Bring corners of dough together. Pinch edges and place smooth side up on baking sheet. Let rise... then bake for 20 - 30 minutes at 375 degree

Meat Mixture
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
8 cups chopped or shredded cabbage
salt.. about 1 1/2 t... may need more. pepper
1 1/2 cups water

Brown beef and onion, add cabbage, seasonings and water. Simmer about 20 minutes until cabbage is wilted down and water evaporates. Cool.

In this modern day and age, one could use bread maker or buy bread mixes..... cabbage already shredded, etc. My gosh, the changes in our lives.
