Notes

Freezing and Re-Heating Runza Sandwiches

Freezing Runza Sandwiches

There are two ways to freeze them. The first way is freezing them unbaked.  Prepare the sandwiches to the step where you place them seam side down on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for a little bit, to let them firm up a bit.  Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and then in foil.  Place 4 wrapped sandwiches inside a gallon ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

The second way to freeze a Runza is to bake them per instructions.  Completely cool them, before wrapping in plastic wrap, then foil, then placing in a ziplock bag.  Re-heat within 3 months.

 Re-Heating frozen and unfrozen Runzas

If your Runza is not baked, you will need to thaw the frozen Runza and brush the tops with butter, before baking for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

If your Runza has been previously baked, place the frozen sandwich in the oven on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

If you are just re-heating your Runza sandwich, it will only take about 10 minutes.  Wrap the sandwich in foil, place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

Re-Heating Runzas in the air fryer works great, too! Set the air fryer to 400 degrees, and place a sandwich (no need to wrap in foil) in the air fryer for about 5 minutes.  Air fryers vary, so please watch it closely the first time you do it.
