INGREDIENTS
FILLING
  • 1 ½ pounds  ground beef --  browned and drained
  • 3 cups  cabbage -- shredded
  • 1 ½ teaspoons  salt
  • ½ teaspoon  pepper
  • dash  Tabasco sauce
  • ½ cup  onion -- chopped
  • 1 cup  sauerkraut
  • 1 teaspoon  oregano
  • ½ teaspoon  garlic powder
  • ½ cup  water
  • American cheese -- optional

DOUGH
  • 2 cups  warm water
  • 3 tablespoons  sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons  salt
  • 6 ½ cups  flour
  • 1 package  dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons  oil
  • ½ cup  dry milk

​PREPARATION
Filling: Mix together first 10 ingredients and simmer about 1/2 hour. Let cool. 

Dough: Combine water, yeast, sugar and oil. Sift and add salt, milk and flour. Knead well. Let rise and knead again. Make bread dough early. 

When ready to make sandwiches, divide into 16 portions. Roll out and fill with about 1/2 cup meat filling. Add American cheese slices, if you wish. Fold the side around the meat, turn over so smooth side is up, bake on cookie sheet at 350 for 20 minutes. 

Note: From Angie Krejci ..."I did not use as much flour as the recipe called for. Doubling should have taken 13 cups and I only used 9. Not sure if it was my flour or what. I make a lot of dough so I knew when to cut off and I could see a novice getting a lump of hard dough.  Might want 4 to 5 cups adding until the dough is not sticky."

Whatza Runza? It's a delicious ground beef sandwich, baked in a roll. "A hot and 
tasty meal in a bunza... Runza!)
