What Are Runzas?

Runza sandwiches first appeared in Russia during the 1800s. The recipe made its way to Germany, and was eventually spread to the United States by German immigrants. It is most popular in Nebraska, which is also home to a restaurant chain called Runza. Whether you get them at a restaurant or eat them at home, the runza sandwich is one incredibly tasty meal!
