I was so inspired by Fitness Guru's review that I followed her cue. I, also, used Wholesome Homemade Honey Whole Wheat Bread and used Velveeta. Let me sum it up by saying, if you come to my house and I offered you Dees's Runza and you leave hungry, it's your own fault.

This was really good. I also used http://www.recipezaar.com/32607 , trying to make the dish healthier. It was DELICIOUS. I ended up tripling the runza filling and had more than enough filling to fill the equivalent of 4 loaves of bread. I cut back a little bit on the Velveeta, but next time would add all of it, maybe even more, because my boys loved it. Delicious recipe!
