For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the beef and cabbage mixture. Ensure the edges of the dough are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking. If the Runzas start to brown too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. These Runzas are best served warm. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.

May 3, 2024I had some issues with the dough leaking during baking, but I think I just didn't seal them well enough. I'll be more careful next time.
