Pulled Pork Runza
My version of the Nebraska staple with a barbecue twist. I used smoked pulled pork and pizza dough. Definitely not the traditional way, but way more flavorful! Ladies and gents - The Pulled Pork Runza!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound smoked pulled pork, shredded 
- 1 large onion, finely chopped 
- 1/4 head of cabbage, shredded 
- 2 tablespoons butter 
- Salt and pepper to taste 
- 1 package premade pizza dough 
- 1 egg, beaten (optional for egg wash) 
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: - In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. 
- Add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent. 
- Add shredded cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, about 5-7 minutes. 
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
- Stir in shredded pulled pork. 
 
- Assemble the Runzas: - Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. 
- Cut the dough into 4-6 equal squares or circles. 
- Place a generous spoonful of the pulled pork and cabbage mixture in the center of each dough piece. 
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a square or circle, sealing the edges tightly with your fingers or a fork. 
- If using, brush the tops of the Runzas with beaten egg. 
 
- Smoke the Runzas: - Place the Runzas on the smoker grates. 
- Smoke at 375°F for 20 minutes. 
- Check for doneness after 20 minutes. The Runzas should be golden brown and cooked through. 
- Total cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the Runzas.
