Anyone from Nebraska should know this recipe. I got this particular one from the Minnesotans for Nebraska website. If you don't know what a Runza is, I suggest you either get on the next plane to Nebraska or make this recipe! Prep time differs on how you make your bread.

As someone who has eaten a thousand and cooked hundreds of cabbage pockets (what Volga Germans in Colorado call them), use Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix. This way you can’t go wrong, just stuff with cooked ground beef, shredded cabbage, onion, salt and heavy on the pepper. I usually fold and pinch dough, bake seam down. But, as an experiment, I am trying a 5 1/2 inch empanada press.
