Runza does still do the temperature thing in NE! When we lived there in the 90′s it was the whole month of January, but now they call it Temperature Tuesdays and only do it on Tuesdays in January. I guess NE is usually cold enough in Jan. that everyday got too expensive!
Oh my god those are just amazing, I havent found a good receipe for a Runza since I left NE. Thankyou so much I ate so many I think I might explode. I am a very happy person tonight thankyou again for the amazing reciepe.
My wife and I are looking to make this recipe and freeze some Runza’s for the first Nebraska game (GBR!!!). I have a couple of quick questions regarding the recipe.
Just curious….how much kraut juice (oz.) do you add in to this recipe? Or does that not really matter….? Also, how many runza’s, on average, does this recipe yield? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
These were UNBELIEVABLE! We are Nebraskans living in Florida and miss our Runzas — these were almost identical!! Best birthday dinner EVER (for my husband Tim). Thank you for sharing!!!!!!
This is very, very close to the original recipe. Runza, though, does not bake the cheese inside, but instead makes a cut along the side and inserts the cheese of an already baked, hot runza. Just an fyi.
That’s exactly what my grandma does! In fact, once when I mentioned using different kinds of cheese in mine, she wondered why she never thought of putting the cheese in at the beginning!
I'm a 31-year-old stay-at-home mother of two seeking to serve the Lord in all that I do and finding immense satisfaction in making things. Add homeschooling a high-energy preschooler and keeping tabs on a curious toddler to the mix and there's always something interesting going on!

Oops, meant to include…

Thanks!

So glad you liked them!
The best receipe for a Runza I have ever found. Your Grandma didnt miss a single ingrediant.

Sorry, please disregard my question on how much this recipe yields…..I see I missed that little tidbit at the end!-)

I’m so glad they turned out well for you! I need to stock my freezer as soon as the weather is cool enough for lots of baking.
