Baked bread pockets with a cut-open piece showing meat and cabbage filling.

Runza sandwich

United States · North America

Short description: This bread pocket bakes the savory filling inside rather than serving it on top.
Ingredients: Yeast dough wrapped around seasoned beef, cabbage, and onions, then baked.
Cultural note: It is associated with Volga German immigrant foodways and later became a regional sandwich style.
Common misconception: It is not a loose-meat sandwich; the filling is enclosed in bread before baking.
