Instructions
  1. Wash hands and clean all prep surfaces.
  2. Brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat, if needed.
  3. Add diced onions and shredded cabbage on top of browned beef. Cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat, or until vegetables are softened.
  4. Stir vegetable and beef mixture and add water, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. Continue to cook for a few minutes until spices become fragrant. Turn of heat and cover.
  5. While beef and cabbage mixture cools slightly, preheat oven to 350-degrees and prepare the bread dough.
  6. Divide refrigerated dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion of dough into thin rectangles.
  7. Top each dough portion with ½ oz of mozzarella cheese and beef/cabbage mixture.
  8. Pinch dough closed to create rectangular “loaf” shapes. Alternatively, you can shape dough into “rolls”, if desired.
  9. Place filled runzas seam-side down on a sheet pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Recipe Notes

Runzas freeze well!

Make multiple batches and freeze cooked runzas for up to three months.

Don’t want to shred cabbage? Use pre-shredded packages from the produce section or drained sauerkraut instead!

Runzas are delicious hot or room-temperature!
