Wayback Runza Recipe

1 package dry yeast dissolved in 2 cups water (5 min)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cups flour

Combine ingredients, beat until smooth.

Add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup melted (cooled) fat and 5 cups flour. Beat 5 min, cover, let double in bulk.

Turn out on floured board, roll out & cut into 6 or 8 inch pieces. Use about 2/3 cup filling. Fold over, pinch edges tightly, let rise 20-30 minutes. Can be glazed by brushing with beaten egg before baking. Bake in a 400 F oven 20-25 min.


Runza Filling

1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp oregano
2 lbs ground beef
2 cups chopped onion
4 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 tsp savory salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp shortening

Saute beef and cabbage in shortening & add two cups water. Add all remaining spices, then let simmer well. Cool completely.

I've had a recipie to make runza's for about 8 years. I always tell myself that I am going to do it "this fall during football season".

 

Well dammit, this football season I am going to make runzas.

Looks really good. I should have my wife to an egg-wash on her runzas. (Insert joke here.)

Those look delicious.

[knapplc]

They were really good. Feedback was pretty positive. They said a little more spice and more filling in each runza.
