My mom is from Nebraska. After she moved away and left her beloved Runza, she had to come up with a substitute! For picky children, leave out the veggies! If you are not familiar with Runza, just know that it is similar to a cheeseburger.
Ingredients:
2 (12 ounce) tubes crescent rolls
1 lb ground beef
sliced cheddar cheese
1/2 medium onion
1 chopped green bell pepper
ketchup
mustard
Directions:
1. 1. Brown ground beef. Drain.
2. 2. Saute onion & pepper and add to beef.
3. 3. Unroll cresecent rolls. Place beef inside cresecent rolls. You can be creative in how you roll them. You can place beef inside a cresecent roll and roll it up how you would normally roll a cresecent roll or you may choose to shape them in a rectangle, or shape like a real Runza. I shape them into a rectangle using about four of the triangles. Two on the top, two on the bottom.
4. 4. The cheese can be added on the inside or the outside. I prefer to put it on top on the beef before rolling. If you want to put it on the outside, just add cheese on top with five minutes left in baking time.
5. 5. Bake according to your crescent roll directions.
6. 6. Serve with Ketchup & Mustard!
