Easy Nebraska Runzas

Ingredients:

  • 16 Rhodes rolls frozen unbaked roll dough
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups finely chopped cabbage
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions:

  1. Place frozen rolls several inches apart on parchment-covered baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature until double in size. This can take 3-5 hours, so plan accordingly.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. When the beef is about halfway browned, add the butter, onion, and cabbage. Then cook until the beef is browned and the onions and cabbage are soft. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. On a lightly floured surface, using your fingers, work each dough ball into a circle, resembling a miniature pizza dough. Scoop a rounded spoonful of the hamburger mix into the center of the dough. Using your fingers, bring up the edges of the dough and pinch to close. Roll gently between your hands to work the seams. Place back on the parchment paper seam side down. Continue working until all the dough balls are filled. Cover with plastic wrap for 30 minutes.
  5. Whisk together the egg and milk. Gently and lightly brush the dough with the egg wash. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.

Enjoy your delicious Runzas!
