This is for IMM~Iowa asking for her daughter sandwich called Runza. I believe this is what she's looking for but we always called them Bierock's

Bierock (Baked Stuffed Buns) recipe
2 packages yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup warm water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups warm milk
8 cups flour, divided
2/3 cup lard or shortening
2 eggs

Mix yeast, the 1 tablespoon sugar, and the water in a small bowl; let foam.

Mix the 3/4 cup sugar, salt and milk in a medium-size bowl.

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of the flour, lard or shortening and eggs.

Add the yeast mixture and the milk mixture to the flour mixture in the large bowl.

Let the batter rise. After it has risen, mix in remaining 4 cups of flour, knead, and let the dough rise again. Meanwhile, make the filling.

Filling
1 pound ground beef
2 onions, chopped
1 head cabbage, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook the filling in a large kettle or Dutch oven by first browning the meat. Drain meat well. Mix onions, cabbage and seasonings with meat.

To assemble, grease two baking sheets. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

When the dough has risen, roll out pieces about the size of an egg into a circle, spoon filling on, and wrap up, pinching edges to seal, and place on prepared baking sheet. Brush each bierock with melted margarine and let them rise for about 15 minutes. Bake about 20 to 25 minutes.

This is the way I started making them and it really good with the fresh dough. But now in my older years LOL I buy either can biscuits, or can crescent rolls. Or some time the frozen rolls or bread dough and make them that way. Hope this helps.
