Personal Notes:
I'm grew up in Nebraska, go Cornhuskers, these are the buns mom would make us for holidays. I have made these for the boys. Nebraska has the famous Runza Hut fast food places.
I'm hear to tell you these are the best. Serve by themselves or as a meal with pototes and gravy. Can also put cheese in them. YUM!!!!! I wrap the left over ones in foil and put in the freezer. There read to heat in the oven.
