Bierocks or Runzas, depending on where you are from, are a traditional German/Russian dish that is typically made with a slightly sweet yeast dough. In order to make these Low Carb/Keto Bierocks aka Runzas I replaced the traditional dough with the versatile and delicious “fat head dough.”
Basic ingredients are cabbage, onion, and seasoned ground beef. Adding some cheddar cheese to the traitional Runza recipe creates some serious savory flavors in each mouthful.
