I am looking for an easy recipe for cabbage buns. Thanks.

M.J., I had never heard of cabbage buns before and decided to do a little research, especially since my signature is "Question Everything" - LOL ;-) They were introduced by Russian-German immigrants and are called Runza's.
All of the recipes I came across were quite similar but this particular recipe stood out because it's quite detailed and easy to follow. If you're not a baker (I am certainly not - LOL) you could probably used pre-made sweet dough. Let us know how you like them.

I am looking for a recipe for cabbage rolls. My mom used to make them. They were a yeast roll with hamburger, cabbage, and onions fried and placed inside the dough and baked. They were really good, but I have been unable to find my mom's recipe, does anyone have one? Please help.

Valorie, They are called "beirocks" or "runzas". Below is a link to a recipe I have used and they really are yummy! I did add a whole onion and some seasoned salt and a teaspoon or less of caraway seed to the hamburger/cabbage filling. Another hint, if you have a food processor, chopping the cabbage and onion down to a finely shredded consistancy before mixing with the hamburger saves a lot of time.
I have to wonder if this would be "great" in a crescent roll pocket. Two triangles of the canned rolls pressed at the edges to seam them together Might try it!
Valorie, KansasCindy is correct there. In Nebraska, we call them runzas. I sometimes substitute drained polish sauerkraut for the cabbage, just for variety. When my kids were growing up I made both kinds several times a month as they loved them.
Thanks for requesting & posting this! An old friend of mine made these, too, & always called them "Cabbage Rolls". I've tried to replicate it, but I've never found a recipe that was similar, all of the recipes I've found were meat wrapped in cabbage leaves, not meat & cabbage wrapped in dough. (And my friend always made them using frozen dinner rolls, too!) Thank you, again!
This is a meat pie called "Runza" German and started in Nebraska. You can find recipes on line! Very Good Eating takes some work but worth it.
KansasCindy, thanks for that link. I think I will make them for appetizers for Christmas.

We had a neighbor that did a lot of baking. She used to make 'cabbage rolls', but they were an actual bread dinner-type roll.
