Runza Casserole
This Runza casserole recipe with hamburger and cabbage tastes like the restaurant's, but it's way easier to make. My 4-year-old loves it! I made it with onion powder when I forgot to buy an onion — I just added a bit to the raw hamburger and a bit more when I added the other seasonings.
