Runzas

June 1, 2026 by dinnertonight

What exactly is a Runza? 🥟✨ 

A Runza is a beloved Midwestern comfort food with roots in German-Russian bierocks — soft baked bread filled with seasoned ground beef, cabbage, onions, and often cheese. Made famous in Nebraska, these warm handheld pockets became a go-to meal for busy families because they’re hearty, portable, and completely satisfying.  

This easy version uses frozen bread dough instead of homemade dough, so you get all the cozy, nostalgic flavor with a lot less work. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, lunchboxes, road trips, or grabbing on the go when life gets busy! 🥖❤️

Runzas freeze well!

Make multiple batches and freeze cooked runzas for up to three months.

Don’t want to shred cabbage? Use pre-shredded packages from the produce section or drained sauerkraut instead!

Runzas are delicious hot or room-temperature!
