Making homemade bierocks or runzas, as some people call them, doesn’t have to take all day! Our entire family goes wild for this bierocks recipe.

BUT…I don’t love making the bread from scratch every time. I will do it on occasion, but it happens to take me all day. This is great on those days when I have tons of time. However, I wanted to find an easier and quicker way that gives us similar results.

I’m happy to report that using dinner rolls is faster and the flavor is going to rock your world.

🍞 Ingredients

  • Bag of Frozen Dinner Rolls – I used Rhodes Rolls
  • Ground beef
  • Sliced Cheese
  • Cabbage
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Butter (optional)

🥣 Directions

1. Place the dinner rolls on a greased baking sheet. Follow the directions on the package of rolls for raising the dough.

NOTE: You can adjust how many you are making at a time so that you may need two baking sheets.

2. While the dough is rising, cook the ground beef. Once the beef is browned, add it to a large pan with the cabbage and 2 tablespoons of water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and add a lid. Turn heat to low-medium. Stir every 5 minutes until the cabbage has softened to the texture you want. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes, depending on your preference.

3. Take one dinner roll and carefully pull on it to flatten it out. Lay it down add 1/2 – 1 slice of cheese. Add 1/4 cup filling.

4. Flatten out another dinner roll and place it on top of the first roll. Pinch the edges and place it on the greased baking sheet.

5. Bake for 20-22 minutes at 375 degrees. If they aren’t done all the way, cook them a little bit longer.

6. Take them out of the oven and take a stick of butter and add to the top of each bierock.
