Runza Sandwiches

$8 per familly, Medium, Prep Time: 3 hours, Ingredients are for 6 sandwiches.

Ingredients:
1/2 head of cabbage
1 lb of ground beef
12 frozen bread rolls (I use Rhoades)
1/4 onion, chopped
6 slices of provolone cheese
2 TBS butter
1/4 tsp garlic salt
3/4 tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 TBS fresh cracked pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning

Directions:
Allow bread rolls to thaw on greased baking sheet for about 2-3 hours.

Chop cabbage and place in a large skillet with butter and garlic salt, allow to soften over medium high heat for about 5 minutes, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to sit for about 7 more minutes or until cabbage is soft and brown. Shut off skillet heat and cover cabbage with a lid and allow to steam until it is completely wilted and soft (could take an additional 25-30 minutes)

While cabbage is steaming, press 2 thawed bread rolls together and roll on floured board until they are very thin and shaped in a circle.
Set flattened rolls aside on a greased baking sheet  and place a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each round.


Brown the beef and onions and all remaining seasonings together until beef is fully cooked. Drain. Add the cooked cabbage to the pan of seasoned beef and stir until combined.

Spoon the Beef and Cabbage mixture over the cheese and bread rolls. Tuck the bread around the mixture and flip over on baking sheet so that the seam is down.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Freezer Club:
To prepare for the freezer, spray a small piece of foil with cooking spray to place each dough circle on instead of a baking sheet. Also spray the top of the runza before folding inside the foil to avoid sticking while baking. Wrap each sandwich in foil individually.

Bake From Freezer:
Place frozen sandwiches (still in foil, seam side up) on a greased baking sheet and bake at 415 for 20 minutes, undo foil from the top and bake an additional 15 minutes. Cool and Enjoy! These are delicious served with a fruit salad and fresh veggie or sweet potato fries. You can also change up the flavor by adding sauteed mushrooms or try dipping them in BBQ sauce, ketchup, or mustard and serve with pickles!
