TIL about Runzas, savory bread pockets from Nebraska that are most frequently filled with ground beef and cabbage and are a delicious handheld meal. Recipe link in post.
AKA: Delicious; Kraut Burger; Bierock. My mother makes them every year between Christmas and New Year's. Now I'm hungry. Thanks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bierock
This dish is so common it's got tons of names, the only thing even vaguely Nebraskan about it is the name, and even that is a shortening of an older German name for it.
Runza's are delicious, but if you're in the area, don't sleep on the burgers. Runza makes the best burger you can get in a drive through. A Runza burger and a side of frings is heaven to me.

Mom would make these all the time when I was growing up. Perfect traveling food too.

English ppl call that a pasty. Cubans call it an empanada. I call them all delicious.

Those look amazing, but I'm totally not driving 9 hours to Omaha to get some. Will try various variations though.
