Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 package (8 ounces) crescent roll dough
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Step 2

Once the beef is fully cooked, drain off any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cabbage, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are combined.

Step 5

Spread the cabbage and beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Unroll the crescent roll dough and layer it over the cabbage mixture in the skillet, pinching the seams together to form a uniform crust.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dough.

Step 9

Brush the melted butter over the top of the dough for a golden finish.

Step 10

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into sections and enjoy your Skillet Runza!
