Runza's :)

My Hubby is from Nebraska, and one of the things he misses the most are Runza's (which is a restaurant I guess that is exclusive to Nebraska. Anyhow we found the recipe online and have made out own. Our version we just use 2 packages of crescent rolls one for the top layer and one for the bottom. You can try adding other items too, sometimes I put pineapple in with the mix but haven't been much for adventurous. Enjoy they are supper yummy !

Original Runza Recipe
2 pound ground beef1 large onion , chopped SaltPepper1 Medium Cabbage, chopped2 batches of bread dough
Saute onion in a bit of oil until just translucent. Add hamburger and saute until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Drain away the grease, and return to the pan. Cover the mixture with the shredded cabbage and cook until the cabbage is done. Stir occasionally. This could take about 45 minutes or so.
Using an egg-dough recipe, roll small balls of dough thin to make a 5×5 square. Put about 1/2 cup of cabbage mixture in center of square and seal closed. Place seal side down on a parchment lined baking sheet (or a lightly greased sheet).
Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 or until lightly golden brown

Italian Macaroni & Cheese

This one is so easy, and it has few ingredients, but its a favorite around here. I like to triple this recipe and put the other two meals in freezer bags for another time.

1 lb. pasta, I use spiral
1 26 oz jar marinara sauce ( or home made)
1 C non-fat sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces sliced provolone cheese, cut into pieces
1 C mozzarella cheese shredded

Cook past according to directions and drain. Spray a 9x13 with non-stick cooking spray.

In large bowl combine pasta, marinara sauce, sour cream, then spread half into pan. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and half of the provolone pieces. Add the rest of the pasta on top and cover with the rest of the provolone.

Cook in 350 oven for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly.

If you choose to freeze some, do not bake first, just combine ingredients and place in freezer bag. Attach bags with the cheeses. Can freeze for up to 3 months.
