Ingredients
16 Rhodes rolls (frozen unbaked roll dough)
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tbsp butter
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 c finely chopped cabbage
Salt and pepper to taste
1–2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
Instructions
Let the frozen rolls rise at room temperature until they double in size, which usually takes around 3 to 5 hours.
In a skillet cook the ground beef with butter, onion and cabbage until it is fully cooked and nicely browned.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Take each roll. Flatten it into a circle. Then spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each circle.
Fold the dough over the filling. Press the edges together to seal them. Place the filled rolls, on a baking sheet with the sealed side down.
In a bowl whisk together an egg and some milk. Brush this mixture over the top of each Runza to give them a finish when baked.
Bake in your preheated oven, for 18 to 20 minutes. Until they turn a lovely golden brown color.
Now you can savor the flavors of the Midwest with your own homemade Easy Nebraska Runzas!
