Runzas

Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup sugar
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
FILLING:
1 lb lean ground beef
2 small onions, chopped
4 cups chopped cabbage
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl,  place 1 3/4 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat milk, water, and shortening to 120 degrees F to 130 degrees F. Pour over flour mixture; add the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low until blended. Beat 3 additional minutes on high. Stir in the remaining flour; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, brown beef and onions in a skillet. Add the cabbage, salt, and pepper; cook until cabbage is wilted. Punch dough down; roll into 12 6" squares. Top each square with 1/3 cup meat mixture. Fold into triangles. Pinch edges tightly to seal and place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.

**These are a little time-consuming but not really hard. They turned out delicious! Steve and his sister Kathy even said they were really good (Rose makes something similar, but I didn't hear "You should try my mom's recipe instead."). You could adapt the recipe for you picky eaters by substituting cheese for the cabbage. Maybe even try meat with some spaghetti sauce for Italian runzas. This recipe is from Allrecipes.com.
