    I’m from Nebraska but live in Arizona currently. First thing I do when I go back to Nebraska is go to Runza!
    Runza had a whole interesting history and it’s the only place I know where you can get Frings. Half fries and half onion rings. Who doesn’t want that?
    I’ve made them with bread dough but I’m going to try your recipe ❤️

    @PC-un7zf 4 месяца назад +19

    Yes, Runzas originated from German/Russian immigrants to Nebraska. Lincoln Nebraska (my home town) had the first Runza drive inns and you can still find them today! They are more like a hand-held sandwich with the filling inclosed with a bread dough and then baked. So delicious 🥰

      @anjmayberry 4 месяца назад +5

      I come to say something like this... We are a Russian/German family from western Nebraska (Bauer-Schott... pronounced SCOTT)... I have my great grandmother's recipe.. we just called them Krout burgers or cabbage burgers... But I have seen people call them beirocks... I've seen instead of hamburger they added bacon. Runza is ok, being from there but they are not that great compared to our grannies cooking...

    Talk about a meant to be video for me this week. I have somehow ended up with 3 cans of crescents in my frig and this solves what to do with them! As usual, they all look delicious. I have always pre-baked the bottom crust of crescent dough when I've made something similar. Us Southern girls learned to cook pretty similarly I do believe. 😊 Thank you for going to the trouble to find us ongoing inspiration. I for one appreciate the dickins out of it, and of you!!

    I lived in Nebraska most of my life! Home-made runzas are the best. The old folks used sausage and sauerkraut, but many of us use ground beef and shredded cabbage. We made home-made dough for the outsides. My family never made the casserole, but that would be great for a crowd. ❤

    Ok from a Nebraskan; your Runza casserole was a hit. Both my husband and I loved it and it really hit the spot!
    The crescent dough is a little sweeter than Runza but I had mine with ketchup as usual.

    I love watching you Mama Mel! This was another great video! I live in Nebraska so l’ve had several Runza’s. They have a Swiss Cheese and Mushroom Runza that is Amazing! It has cabbage in it but I don’t think quite as much. Also, the cabbage is cooked down until it is very limp and nearly translucent in these. You may want to try that version. It’s so good!!! Sending you lots of hugs and love.

    Your first recipe with shredded cabbage in it would be good with taco seasoning and Mexican cheese and served with salsa and sour cream! Or Soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic added in the hamburger mixture.
    Great video.
    Also to get a tearless onion chop, keep your mouth open while you chop.--no tears.

    Mel, I am from Kansas born & raised. My mother made Bierock and it sounded very similar to your Runza casserole. I had to “google” the two. So it seems that Nebraskans favor the word Runza & Kansans favor the word Bierock. Both are the same ingredients basically as your casserole, but the filling is stuffed in yeast dough and baked. They were so delicious, and a family favorite. Yeast scares the dickens out of me, so needless to say, Thank You Mel for this much easier version!!!! Love your channel!!

    • @InTheKitchenWithMommaMel

      @InTheKitchenWithMommaMel it is a sweet French salad dressing made out of a dining hall at a Masonic lodge (I think) in a small Nebraska town. It is on the menu at most Nebraska restaurants, along with Rotellas Italian bread! Maybe you could do a series of recipes each state is known for across the U.S. A twist on your recipes by country series you did last year. Maybe your subscribers could suggest a dish or sandwich if you wanted to keep it simple. I'm sure each state has a local sandwich they are known for. If you want to repeat Nebraska, the Reuban was invented in a hotel in Omaha. Just a thought! Thanks for all your great recipes!

    You continue to inspire. Here in Colorado, we make Runza with American Cheese slices under the top crescent sheet & sauerkraut instead of just plain cabbage. Gives it a twang as you say. 😀 We are a short drive from Nebraska and they actually have a fast food chain called "Runza" and they sell "runzas" which are basically cabbage pockets in a sandwich form. Thanks for blessing us with your beautiful smile and fantastic attitude! I always look forward to more Momma Mel!

    Nebraska Runzatic here . This recipe is basically the one I use at home. The restaurant ones are made with bread dough but I do like the crescent dough better at home. Runza will ship frozen sandwiches about anywhere in the country, I think. There's a website!

    Yes! I live in western Nebraska and I have a Runza restaurant about 1/2 mile down the road. The Runza sandwich is very similar to a cabbage bun - very tasty. I am going to have to give this casserole a shot because the filling is my favorite part. Thanks for sharing and I hope your family enjoys this! Please take care and have a Blessed day ❤

    You could add a drizzle of thousand island on the beef mixture before topping it, to give it that extra zing. A little melted garlic butter brushed on top of that lasagna casserole would have been delicious. I really want to tey that enchilada tortellini. All of these look delicious.

    I have made Runza’s. They are so good.
    Your filling has all of the same ingredients as the Runza filling. It is originally German, called Bierocks. Instead of a casserole, I use bread dough to enclose the filling and bake them. They are so good!

    I am a Nebraska resident. I’ve only had the Runza sandwich, as you referred to it. The restaurant makes Italian Runza, And I believe some other styled ones, but I can’t recall what the other flavors are. I’ve never eaten it as a casserole. I love the Italian Runza, though. If you or your family like this, you should try to make it Italian style.

  • @lauracunningham1149

    Here's the runza recipe my cousin uses. It's pretty close to the real thing.
    Runzas
    4-1/2 to 5 cups flour
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tsp salt
    2 pkgs. active dry yeast
    3/4 cup milk
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 cup shortening
    2 eggs, room temperature
    Measure 1-3/4 cups flour into bowl. Stir in sugar, salt, and yeast. Heat milk, water, and shortening until warm (120-130F). Pour into flour mixture. Add eggs and beat at low speed to blend. Beat for 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in rest of flour. Knead 3 minutes until smooth. Cover with wax paper and a towel. Let rest for 20 minutes.
    Filling:
    1-1/2 pounds ground beef
    1 onion, chopped
    2 cup chopped cabbage
    2 T butter
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/8 tsp pepper
    Cheese slices (optional)
    Brown beef and onions. Wilt cabbage in butter and add to beef with salt and pepper. Roll dough very thin and cut into 6”-7” squares. (I make 12 squares). Lay a piece of cheese on each square and place meat mixture on cheese. Bring corners of dough to the center of square. Pinch edges to seal. (Cheese will leak out if not sealed well). Place smooth side up on greased baking sheet. Let rise 40-60 minutes until indentation remains when lightly pressed with fingers. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until dough is done.
