I’m from Nebraska but live in Arizona currently. First thing I do when I go back to Nebraska is go to Runza! Runza had a whole interesting history and it’s the only place I know where you can get Frings. Half fries and half onion rings. Who doesn’t want that? I’ve made them with bread dough but I’m going to try your recipe ❤️

Yes, Runzas originated from German/Russian immigrants to Nebraska. Lincoln Nebraska (my home town) had the first Runza drive inns and you can still find them today! They are more like a hand-held sandwich with the filling inclosed with a bread dough and then baked. So delicious 🥰

I come to say something like this... We are a Russian/German family from western Nebraska (Bauer-Schott... pronounced SCOTT)... I have my great grandmother's recipe.. we just called them Krout burgers or cabbage burgers... But I have seen people call them beirocks... I've seen instead of hamburger they added bacon. Runza is ok, being from there but they are not that great compared to our grannies cooking...

I lived in Nebraska most of my life! Home-made runzas are the best. The old folks used sausage and sauerkraut, but many of us use ground beef and shredded cabbage. We made home-made dough for the outsides. My family never made the casserole, but that would be great for a crowd. ❤

Talk about a meant to be video for me this week. I have somehow ended up with 3 cans of crescents in my frig and this solves what to do with them! As usual, they all look delicious.

Your first recipe with shredded cabbage in it would be good with taco seasoning and Mexican cheese and served with salsa and sour cream! Or Soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic added in the hamburger mixture. Great video. Also to get a tearless onion chop, keep your mouth open while you chop.--no tears.

Mel, I am from Kansas born & raised. My mother made Bierock and it sounded very similar to your Runza casserole. I had to “google” the two. So it seems that Nebraskans favor the word Runza & Kansans favor the word Bierock. Both are the same ingredients basically as your casserole, but the filling is stuffed in yeast dough and baked. They were so delicious, and a family favorite. Yeast scares the dickens out of me, so needless to say, Thank You Mel for this much easier version!!!! Love your channel!!

Hey was so excited to see Runza on your video tag as I am a Nebraska girl, home of Runza! You can always adjust the amount of cabbage if your family doesn't like it.

@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel it is a sweet French salad dressing made out of a dining hall at a Masonic lodge (I think) in a small Nebraska town. It is on the menu at most Nebraska restaurants, along with Rotellas Italian bread! Maybe you could do a series of recipes each state is known for across the U.S. A twist on your recipes by country series you did last year. Maybe your subscribers could suggest a dish or sandwich if you wanted to keep it simple. I'm sure each state has a local sandwich they are known for. If you want to repeat Nebraska, the Reuban was invented in a hotel in Omaha. Just a thought! Thanks for all your great recipes!

Runza is based on the German Bierox. We make this casserole often but we call it quick bierox. My hubby would eat the entire pan if I let him lol.

Thanks! I got it Christmas before last at the Dollar Tree, it was in the $5 section. I did see them there this past Christmas, too. It's battery operated, just for decor (no heat LOL) and it's not a wax warmer - a lot of folks were thinking it might be and that would have been so cute!

I have made Runza’s. They are so good. Your filling has all of the same ingredients as the Runza filling. It is originally German, called Bierocks. Instead of a casserole, I use bread dough to enclose the filling and bake them. They are so good!

I am a Nebraska resident. I’ve only had the Runza sandwich, as you referred to it. The restaurant makes Italian Runza, And I believe some other styled ones, but I can’t recall what the other flavors are. I’ve never eaten it as a casserole. I love the Italian Runza, though. If you or your family like this, you should try to make it Italian style.
