After reading all these, my stomach says loudly I’m hungry! I defrosted a huge amount of hamburger and figure I can get meatloaf and several patties over the grill. Corn on the cob is at all the veggie stands. I hope there’s leftover meatloaf because I will use it for sandwiches.

In my neck of the woods (Nebraska), they’re called Runzas. We have chain restaurants and everything (www.runza.com). Delish! They also have a swiss cheese mushroom version, and an Italian one. And now I’m hungry . . .

I make something similar- but like the other commenter, we call them bierrocks- here’s my recipe, though the bread sounds different.

Oh wow — I think those thingies – whatever they are called, sound really good! I love your last commenters “taco balls” recipe too! I think my kids would love those! Gotta try them!

Tonight we’re having Taco Balls, at my kids’ request. It’s my variation on sausage balls. They love to dip these in salsa or nacho cheese sauce.

Taco Balls
1 lb ground beef
1 c. shredded cheddar
1 packet taco seasoning
3 c bisquick

Mash it all together with your hands until well mixed. Roll into marble-sized balls. Bake @ 375 deg for about 15-17 minutes, or until they start to brown.

LOVE your blog! (Especially great to see another Tennessean!)

We called those pastry-pockets with cabbage and sausage “bierocks”… googling seems to be successful.
