Ingredients

Serves

The quantities follow this count.

1.5 lb ground beef
1 chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
4 cups cabbage, shredded
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb pizza dough
2 tbsp butter, melted

How to cook it

Heat the oven to 375F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic in a skillet, breaking it up, about 6 minutes, then drain the fat.
Add the shredded cabbage, salt, and pepper, cover, and cook until the cabbage wilts and softens, about 10 minutes; let cool slightly.
Press half the pizza dough into the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the beef and cabbage filling evenly over the dough.
Roll or stretch the remaining dough to cover the filling, sealing the edges, and brush the top with the melted butter.
Bake until the crust is golden and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

When to cook it

Runza Casserole takes about 60 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at dinner. Nothing in the calendar rules it out, so it is a year round dish.
