Directions
Rip Roaring Runzas (aka Cornhusker Calzones), I ask you this, why don’t more people know about these wonderful Nebraska treats? If I had the money to franchise a Runza restaurant in Florida, it would be a veritable cash machine! Cha-ching! I originally experienced these little wonders in their Nebraska homeland when I spent one memorable summer milking cows and swathing hay After I returned to Florida, I experimented again and again trying to achieve the same level of yumminess This recipe is close, but I still envy all those Cornhuskers who can purchase these yummies from a drive-through window , Well I’m living in Nebraska and I know exactly what you are talking about These are wonderful and this recipe is what we Midwesterners call Bierocks also My mother and grandmother made them when I was a child in Kansas and there are many variations to the recipe, but they are all good! Glad you enjoyed a nice piece of the Midwest when you were here (besides milking cows and swathing hay 🙂 , This was very good! I made a few changes when I made it for us used blue cheese in place of the American ( I hate that stuff ) and added 2 cloves of minced garlic and substituted sauerkraut for the cabbage ( I did not have any cabbage ) I also added 1/8 tsp fennel seed to the mix We will make again soon
