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.

These taste a bit how I remember White Castle Hamburgers. I topped mine with pickle, catsup and mustard. Yummo! Quick and easy!

    Whatever these are supposed to taste like, I don't know because I'm not from Iowa. What I do know is THEY ARE FANTASTIC! Fantastic and simple. My husband loves them; they are great for football season. For what it's worth, I originally made these for an Iowa Primary Watch Party all the way in FL. :] Thanks!

    Extra easy and super delicious. Everyone i served this to wanted the recipe. Some were served with cheese (swiss and cheddar) some plain....all the buns were toasted and all were very good. i did add fresh ground black pepper.

    Very good. I toasted the buns, added a pinch or two of dried red chili (Southern California Palate!) and a splash of sherry. Wine brightens the taste. Served it with fat free potato chips and a green salad. Great light din din.
