Certainly! A Runza Casserole is inspired by the traditional Runza, which is a regional specialty of Nebraska, USA. The classic Runza is a yeast dough bread pocket with a filling of beef, cabbage or sauerkraut, onions, and seasonings. The casserole version takes these core ingredients and turns them into a layered, baked dish that’s easier to make at home while still delivering the comforting flavors of the original. Here’s a simple recipe to make Runza Casserole:
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups shredded cabbage (or a 14-ounce can of sauerkraut, drained)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Mustard or ketchup, for serving (optional)
