This is a very TASTY, JUICY, LOOSE MEAT sandwich filling. In reading thru this recipe you will notice the use of both fresh and dried onion.....please use the onion type specified in the recipe step you are on for maximum flavor. Although traditionally served on hamburger buns, this filling can be messy for young children trying to keep filling in. Try using hotdog rolls for the youngsters. Mustard & Onions are the seasonings of choice for this recipe. Added 11/12/2008 Maid Rite sandwiches are made across the country. One would think as a franchise all would be made and served the same way. This is not the case.... we have Maid Rites being served that are boiled or steamed, with water, chicken broth, beef broth, coke, or beer. There are those that add vinegar or sugar to the mix. Some top with mustard, onions, ketsup, and pickles......well, move over McDonalds! This is the way I made my Maid Rite sandwiches....faux or real....the name stands. As they say,,,variety is the spice of life. You can make changes to suite your tastes, share your changes here with me, I will try them all...unless we have some bazarre ingredients. Chocolate syrup will not intice me no matter how much I love chocolate.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons dried chopped onions
3 tablespoons water
1 lb lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (I use Swanson's)

1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 hamburger buns
mustard, to taste
chopped fresh onion, to taste

Directions

1
Soak the dried onions in the water.
2
Crumble ground beef into a hot skillet and cook over medium high heat.
3
When the soaked onions have begun to soften and expand, add it and any remaining water (if any) to the beef.
4
Stir frequently as the meat browns, using a wooden spoon to break the meat into small crumbles.
5
When the meat has browned, add the chicken broth, salt and pepper.
6
Cook until liquid is ALMOST gone, about 10 minutes.
7
Serve meat on buns with mustard and fresh chopped onions.

ENJOY!

I've been making these for years, coming from Iowa. Although these were good, they lacked something from the Maid-Rites I eat in Iowa. I believe, as you said, there are many variations on these delightful sandwiches, but I really prefer the ones with a little vinegar and sugar and cooked MUCH longer (more like 1-2 hours). The mustard and dill pickles are a MUST and often we like a piece of sliced cheddar cheese as well. If you live in southern Arizona, Claire's Cafe in Catalina now serves these as well as the famous Midwest's tenderloin sandwiches. Try them, they're delicious too.

It's been a long time since I had a Maid-Rite. And while this doesn't taste exactly like I remember, it's pretty close. I like it.

I too grew up in Iowa in Marshalltown, home of the busiet Maid Rites around. Remember when they were $.35 or 3 for a dollar! Have made this recipe many times as I am far from Maid Rite country now. It comes so close, but nothing matches sitting on the stool smelling the real thing whenever I get the chance. Shoppe prices are a little surprising, but I guess everything has gone up. JohnE in AZ

This is great at the cottage, I also added a slight bit of barbeque sauce. They almost tasted like Manwiches.
