Knew the runza I have had tasted familiar basiclly same ingrediats. Geosa is better fried but can be baked. Serve with 1/2 soy sauce 1/2 vinegar for dipping. Can eat my weight in them.

My Grandparents were among them. At that time, you had to have a job to come to. They were building the railroad across Nebraska at that time. Many of the immigrants worked to build the railroad and then settled here. <br />That is how I learned to make runzas!Nurserustnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6012003181901278969.post-33114574084641971502012-09-13T09:35:42.943-07:002012-09-13T09:35:42.943-07:00I bake these regularly.

When I'm in a hurry, I roll out dough for the bottom of a cookie sheet, put the ingredients on and then roll out more for the top. I cut with a pizza cutter before I bake, so it will be easier to cut later. Not as pretty this way, but efficient for everyday. I usually add Italian seasoning to the filling. My kids dip their runzas in pizza sauce as they eat them. I go for the butter!<br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958487991152782822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6012003181901278969.post-20084705360915888122012-09-13T09:11:22.684-07:002012-09-13T09:11:22.684-07:00my recipe is very similar to this one. everybody a...my recipe is very similar to this one. everybody always rave about them! i have been trying a new thing with my filling to "spice" things up a bit. i use my ground beef cabbage onion and butter to cook up the filling and then add some jalapenos (the swwet and spicy ones from a jar) and and put some pepperjack cheese in the runza dough along with the filling! sooo good!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6012003181901278969.post-41113256716625254392012-09-11T10:19:56.864-07:002012-09-11T10:19:56.864-07:00Mushrooms are also a good addition.Mushrooms are also a good addition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6012003181901278969.post-57605058488713181262012-09-08T20:52:47.834-07:002012-09-08T20:52:47.834-07:00Growing up in Nebraska I've always been able t...Growing up in Nebraska I've always been able to have Runzas whenever I wanted.

My recipe is a tad different and I don't use ANY water or beef boullion. I simply fry good quality hamburger and onion in one pan, and fry the cabbage in about 3-4 Tbs of cooking oil, with some onion, in another skillet and when they are both cooked, I drain my hamburger in a colander and then add the cooked cabbage and onion to it and mix it up. The "Runza's" seemed "sloppy and greasy" to me, in comparison. The dough recipe is pretty similar. I have introduced the krautburger to many in the last 40 years, and can't remember anyone who didn't love them. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
