Best Better Than Maid Rite Sandwiches Recipes

LOOSE MEAT SANDWICH (MAID-RITE COPYCAT)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine beef, water, mustard, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat until the beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes, breaking up clumps of meat with a spoon.
• Drain the fat if desired (I don't, and it is closer to the original recipe if you don't, but you can if you want). Stir in onion and season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper).
• Serve meat on buns with toppings on the side such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and pickles.

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the ground beef and the minced onions, sprinkle with garlic powder and sauté for a couple of minutes. Flip the meat mixture in the skillet and sprinkle again with more garlic powder. Break up the meat as much as you can with a spatula. Soon as the meat has lost most of its pinkness - remove from the burner.
• In a 4 cup measuring cup, mix together the broth, Coca-Cola, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and the brown mustard. Stir this mixture into the skillet and return the skillet to the burner. Bring to a boil, stirring often to break up the meat. Soon as the meat mixture reaches a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and continue cooking over low heat till the liquid has been absorbed, about 45 - 60 minutes. It is very important to slowly simmer the meat till all of the liquid is absorbed thus imparting all of the flavors into the meat.
• Split the hamburger buns or sandwich rolls, smear some yellow mustard on the inside of the upper buns. Spread a couple of thin pickle slices on the lower half of the buns. Spoon equal amount of the meat mixture over the lower bun halves, top with an optional slice of cheese then place the bun top on top.
