About Runza

A Runza is a savory stuffed sandwich originating from Eastern European cuisine, particularly Germany and Russia, brought to the U.S. Midwest by immigrants. It consists of a yeasted bread dough filled with a mixture of ground beef, cabbage, onions, and various seasonings, then baked to a golden brown. The hearty filling provides a balance of protein, fiber, and flavor, making it a satisfying meal. Its cabbage content adds vitamins like K and C, along with dietary fiber, while the protein from the beef supports muscle health. However, the Runza can be calorie-dense, and depending on preparation methods or portion size, it may be high in sodium and saturated fat. Homemade or alternative versions using leaner meat options and whole-grain dough can improve its nutritional profile. Popular in Nebraska, the Runza remains a beloved comfort food combining robust flavors with cultural heritage.
