  • 2 tablespoons butter

How To Make nebraska runzas

  • Step 1
    Place frozen rolls several inches apart on parchment-covered baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature until doubled in size. This can take 3-5 hours, so plan accordingly.
  • Step 2
    Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. When the beef is about halfway browned, add the butter, onion, and cabbage. Then cook until the beef is browned and the onions and cabbage are soft. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Step 3
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 4
    On a lightly floured surface, using your fingers, work each dough ball into a circle patty, looking like a miniature pizza dough.
  • Step 5
    Scoop a rounded spoonful of hamburger mix into the center of the dough.
  • Step 6
    Using your fingers, bring up the edges of the dough and pinch to close. Roll gently between your hands to work the seams. Place back on the parchment paper seam side down. Continue working until all the dough balls are filled. Cover with plastic wrap for 30 minutes.
  • Step 7
    After they have risen again, bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
