Wowlers Runzas Recipe

Forget boring sandwiches! Wowlers Runzas offer a unique twist on classic cabbage rolls. Instead of cabbage leaves, we use fluffy homemade bread dough to encase a delicious savory filling. These delightful treats are amazing warm or cold, making them perfect for lunch, dinner, or a satisfying snack. A spicy mustard topping adds a delightful kick. This recipe, passed down from a neighbor, yields approximately 2 dozen runzas – perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself!). Feel free to substitute store-bought hot roll mix for the homemade dough if you're short on time.

How to Make Wowlers Runzas

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 head of cabbage (finely shredded), 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Cook for another 5 minutes, until cabbage is slightly wilted.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup cooked rice and 1/4 cup tomato paste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Let the mixture cool completely.
  5. Prepare your dough: If using homemade dough, follow your preferred recipe. If using a hot roll mix, follow package instructions.
  6. Divide the dough into 24 equal-sized balls.
  7. Roll each dough ball into a 4-inch circle.
  8. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling in the center of each dough circle.
  9. Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal tightly.
  10. Place the filled runzas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Serve warm with spicy mustard.
