Nebraska Meat Pies

With these Nebraska meat pies you get soft, buttery rolls filled with meat and veggies and baked to perfection. If you’re thinking that this sounds like a pasty you’re not entirely wrong. But, these pies have a yeasted dough which makes them so incredibly tender.

The filling is a simple one of meat and cabbage, but flavored just so. Taken altogether it’s a unique treat that Nebraska is known for- thanks to the local German and Russian immigrant populations that popularized these European style hand pies there for generations. They have become a staple of Nebraska cuisine that’s popular at restaurants and bakeries, including ones known as runza. And, now you can make them at home!
