by

Are you ready to embark on a culinary adventure that will satisfy all your cravings? Look no further than my quick and easy Blackstone Runza Recipe. In just about 30 minutes, you can indulge in a mouthwatering combination of cabbage, onions, beef, cheese, and a delectable shortcut dough. Let’s dive into this delightful journey together!

Unveiling the Runza

Picture this: a work trip to Omaha, Nebraska – not the most glamorous destination, I admit. But little did I know that it would become one of the highlights of my 2019 travel experiences. During my time there, I had the pleasure of meeting a group of wonderful ladies and discovering a local favorite known as the Runza.

Embracing the Runza Magic

Originating from a chain restaurant found all over Nebraska, the Runza is a fusion of German Bierock and Eastern European Piroshky. It features a yeasted dough enveloping a generous filling of cabbage, onions, and seasoned ground beef. And let’s not forget the cheese! If you fancy some variety, the Runza chain offers different versions including Mushroom & Swiss, vegetarian, barbecue bacon, and even a cheeseburger variety with pickles inside.

Creating Your Runza Masterpiece

Now, if you’re feeling ambitious, you can certainly make your own homemade bread dough for the Runza. But for those seeking a quick and easy option, fear not! A tube of crescent roll dough will come to your rescue. With this approach, you can effortlessly prepare these delicious treats, especially when cooking on a gas griddle like the Blackstone.

So, how does it come together? It’s as simple as cooking the cabbage and onions, seasoning and cooking the ground beef, filling the crescent roll dough with the tempting toppings and cheese, and voila! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even flip the Runza while cooking to achieve that perfect golden crust.

The Runza Evolution

You may notice that the use of crescent roll sheets produces a thinner crust compared to traditional Runzas. But fear not, because this variation brings its own unique charm. However, if you prefer a thicker, breadier dough, feel free to experiment with regular bread dough or pre-made pizza dough. You could even double up the thickness of the crescent sheet, although remember to cover it while cooking to ensure complete doneness.

Delightful Leftovers and Reheating Tips

Now, what to do with those delightful leftovers? Simply store them in a baggie or covered storage container, away from moisture. They’ll keep fresh in the fridge for several days. And for reheating, consider options like your grill, oven, air fryer, or pellet grill. The goal is to achieve that perfect balance of warmth and crispness.

The Perfect Pairings

If you find yourself at a Runza restaurant, classic accompaniments like fries, onion rings, and the irresistible “Frings” (a combination of half onion rings and half french fries) will complete your meal. But if you’re in the mood for something lighter, I highly recommend a fresh Greek Salad or my Grilled Caesar Pasta Salad. These refreshing options will perfectly complement the flavors of your homemade Runzas.
