Runzas are a type of meat-filled pastry, originally from Eastern Europe. They are now commonly found in the Midwestern United States, where they are a popular fast food item. Runzas are typically served hot with ketchup or mustard. The pastry dough is soft and fluffy, and the filling is made with cooked hamburger, onion, and shredded cabbage. Spices such as salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce are added for flavor. Runzas are a satisfying and hearty food, great for a quick meal on the go.

Instructions

5.After the dough is done rising, divide it into 16 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a circle.
6.Place approximately 1/2 cup of filling on each circle, fold over the dough, and pinch the edges shut. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
