Categories     Main Course

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound ground beef ((85/15 recommended, see note 1))
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup onion (finely chopped, plus more for topping (see note 2))
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns (split, for serving)
Toppings (such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, pickles, for serving)

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.

IOWA MAID-RITES

I came up with my own version of Iowa MaidRites which also are called 'loose meat' sandwiches. Very versatile, leftover beef can be used for spaghetti or taco filling, or it can be frozen for later use.

This was a big winner in our work pot lucks,I was requested to bring it all the time and its easy easy to throw in a crock pot also. It may not be an Authentic Maidrite...but everyone who has tried them seem to agree they are pretty darn good.
